Why is INTENSÉMENT PÉTILLANTE Saveur Citron classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it is mineral water that has been carbonated and flavored with a natural lemon aroma, both of which are industrial processes; the only added ingredients are carbon dioxide and the lemon flavouring, with no other additives.

How does the low sugar and low salt content of this lemon sparkling water affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With zero sugars and only 0.008 g of salt per 100 ml, the drink does not raise blood glucose levels and adds a negligible amount of sodium, making it suitable for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure when consumed in moderation.

Is this lemon sparkling water suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the beverage contains only water, carbon dioxide and a natural lemon flavour, all of which are plant‑based, contain no carbohydrates or gluten, and therefore fit vegan, keto‑friendly and gluten‑free dietary patterns.
