Why is Fruit de la passion classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is made from passion‑fruit concentrate, added sugar, pectin and ascorbic acid, all of which are industrially processed ingredients; together with the use of a food‑grade stabiliser and antioxidant, this places the product in the NOVA‑4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar content in this passion‑fruit nectar affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 13 g of sugar per 100 ml, the nectar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while the absence of salt means it does not directly raise blood pressure, though excess sugar can contribute to weight gain and related cardiovascular risks.

Is this passion‑fruit nectar suitable for a vegan diet?

All listed ingredients, water, passion‑fruit concentrate, sugar, pectin and vitamin C, are plant‑derived, so the product is compatible with a vegan lifestyle, assuming the sugar is not refined with animal‑derived charcoal, which is not indicated on the label.
