Why is Confiture Abricot classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it includes processed ingredients such as refined sugar and a food‑grade gelling agent; the only listed additive is pectin (E440), used to give the jam its spreadable texture.

How does the sugar content in Confiture Abricot affect a diabetic diet?

At 32 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so people managing diabetes should limit portions or choose a truly no‑added‑sugar alternative.

Is Confiture Abricot suitable for a vegan diet?

All declared ingredients – apricots, sugar, water, pectin and lemon juice – are plant‑based, and the listed additive is vegan, making the jam compatible with a vegan diet, although the exact source of the sugar is not disclosed.
