Why is Confiture extra Quetsches d'Alsace classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The jam is labelled NOVA 4 because it undergoes industrial processing, includes added sugar and a concentrated lemon juice concentrate, and uses a pectin gelling agent (E440) to achieve its texture; the only listed additive is the pectin (E440).

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

With 56 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, while its very low salt (0.03 g) does not add significant sodium pressure for hypertension, but the high sugar still poses cardiovascular concerns.

Is Confiture extra Quetsches d'Alsace suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten-free diets?

All ingredients, damson plums, sugar, concentrated lemon juice and pectin, are plant-derived, so the jam is vegan and gluten-free, but its high carbohydrate and sugar content makes it incompatible with a keto regimen.
