Why is Orange Citron Pamplemousse classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra-processed because it contains added sugar, pectin and ascorbic acid, which are listed as additives (E440 for pectin and E300 for ascorbic acid) and the jam undergoes cooking and gel formation steps.

How does the high sugar content of this jam affect a diabetic diet?

With 48 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, so people with diabetes should limit portion size or avoid it to maintain glycaemic control.

Is the citrus component in this jam a concern for people with citrus allergies?

The jam contains oranges, lemons and grapefruits, so anyone allergic to citrus fruits should avoid it.
