Why is FRUIT &Cie POMME FRAISE classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additive does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA 3 because its ingredients are mostly whole‑food fruit purees with added sugar and a stabiliser; the only listed additive is E300 (ascorbic acid), which serves as an antioxidant to preserve colour and freshness.

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

With 14 g of total sugars per 100 g (including 4 g of added sugars) and no sodium, the compote can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so people with diabetes should limit portions, while the zero‑salt content makes it harmless for blood‑pressure management.

Is FRUIT &Cie POMME FRAISE suitable for vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains only plant‑based ingredients (apple, strawberry, blackcurrant purees and sugar) and no animal‑derived components, making it vegan and gluten‑free, but its sugar level and total carbohydrate content (15 g per 100 g) are too high for a strict keto diet.
