Why is Marmalade d'orange classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is made from a mixture of ingredients that have been heavily refined and combined, including added sugar, pectin (E440) as a gelling agent and citric acid (E330) as an acidity regulator; these industrial additives and the presence of refined sugar classify it as ultra-processed.

How does the sugar content in this orange marmalade affect a diabetic diet?

With 37 g of sugars per 100 g, the marmalade can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose; people managing diabetes should treat it as a high-sugar food and limit portions or choose a truly sugar-free alternative.

Is Marmalade d'orange suitable for a vegan diet?

All listed ingredients – oranges, water, pectin, citric acid and the added sugar (which is not identified as animal-derived) – are plant-based, so the marmalade can be considered suitable for a vegan diet, although the exact source of the sugar is not specified.
