Why is La Pétillante Citron – Lime classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

The beverage is classified as ultra‑processed because it includes an added ingredient – natural lime flavoring – beyond plain water. This flavoring is the only additive listed; no preservatives, colorants or other processing aids are present.

How does the sugar and salt content in this lime sparkling water affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With only 0.5 g of sugar and 0.01 g of salt per 100 ml, the drink contributes a negligible amount of carbohydrates and sodium, making it generally safe for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure when consumed in moderation.

Is La Pétillante Citron – Lime suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains only carbonated mineral water and natural lime flavor, without any animal‑derived ingredients, gluten, or significant carbs, so it fits vegan, keto, halal and gluten‑free dietary patterns.
