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

The jam is considered ultra-processed because it combines whole fruit with added refined sugars, concentrated lemon juice, and a gelling agent; the only listed additive is fruit pectin (E440) used to achieve the spreadable texture.

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

With 60 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by people with diabetes, and although its salt is low (0.05 g), the overall high sugar still requires careful moderation for hypertensive individuals.

Is this fig jam suitable for a vegan, keto, or gluten-free diet?

The product contains only plant-based ingredients, so it is vegan and gluten-free, but its very high sugar level makes it incompatible with a keto diet that restricts carbohydrate intake.
