Why does Acacia honey have a Nutri‑Score of E despite being a natural product?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm heavily penalizes high sugar levels; with 80 g of sugars per 100 g and no compensating fiber, protein or fruit‑vegetable content, the honey receives the lowest grade E.

How does the high sugar content of this honey impact people with diabetes or hypertension?

Consuming 100 g provides about 80 g of sugars, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be limited for diabetics; the product contains virtually no salt, so it does not directly affect blood pressure.

Is Acacia honey suitable for vegans or people allergic to bee products?

Honey is produced by bees and is classified as non‑vegan, so it is not appropriate for vegans; individuals with bee‑product allergies may experience reactions and should avoid it.
