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

It is rated NOVA 4 because the formulation includes added cane sugar, concentrated lemon juice and a food‑grade gelling agent (pectin, listed as additive E440). These ingredients are derived from industrial processing rather than being whole‑food only, placing the jam in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar content in this jam affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 41 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, and although its salt is low (0.04 g), the high sugar still contributes to overall caloric intake, so it should be consumed only in very small portions as part of a balanced plan.

Is this jam suitable for a vegan diet?

Yes, all listed ingredients, raspberries, blueberries, cane sugar, water, pectin and lemon juice, are plant‑derived and the product bears organic and fair‑trade certifications; the only additive, pectin (E440), is derived from fruit cell walls and is considered vegan.
