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

The jam includes added refined sugar, cane sugar and a food‑grade pectin (additive E440) used as a gelling agent; these industrially processed ingredients place it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

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

With 59 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, and the high sugar load may also exacerbate blood‑pressure issues even though the product contains no added salt.

Is Confiture Mirabelles suitable for vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

All ingredients are plant‑based, so the jam is vegan and gluten‑free, but its extremely high carbohydrate and sugar content makes it incompatible with keto or other low‑carb dietary regimes.
