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

The jam is made from peach puree, added refined sugars, concentrated lemon juice and a gelling agent, all of which are industrially processed ingredients; the only listed additive is E440 (fruit pectin), which qualifies the product for the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the high sugar content in Confiture Pêches affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 58 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while its zero‑salt content does not pose a direct risk for hypertension but the overall sugar load remains a concern for cardiovascular health.

Is Confiture Pêches suitable for a vegan diet?

All listed ingredients – peach, sugar, cane sugar, lemon juice concentrate and pectin – are plant‑derived, and the product carries no animal‑derived additives, so it can be considered vegan‑friendly.
