Why is Confiture 4 fruits rouges classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined sugar, fruit purees and two processing aids, pectin (E440) as a gelling agent and citric acid (E330) as an acidifier, along with multiple industrial steps such as heating and homogenisation, which meet the criteria for a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed food.

How does the high sugar content in this jam affect people with diabetes or obesity?

With 58 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight glycaemic control in diabetes and contributing significant extra calories that can hinder weight‑loss efforts, so it should be limited to small portions.

Is Confiture 4 fruits rouges suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

All listed ingredients, fruit, sugar, pectin and citric acid, are plant‑based, so the jam is technically vegan and contains no gluten, but the refined sugar may be processed with bone char, and its very high carbohydrate (61 g per 100 g) and sugar levels make it incompatible with keto dietary restrictions.
