Why does this orange‑blossom honey receive a Nutri‑Score of E despite being a natural, minimally processed product?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm heavily penalises high sugar levels and rewards protein, fiber and fruit/vegetable content; with 80 g of sugars per 100 g, no protein or fiber and no fruit‑vegetable percentage, the honey scores poorly, resulting in an E rating even though it is minimally processed.

How does the high sugar content of this honey affect people with diabetes or those watching their carbohydrate intake?

Because the honey is 80 % sugar, it can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so individuals with diabetes or anyone limiting carbs should consume only small amounts or choose a lower‑sugar alternative.

Is this honey suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The honey is not vegan as it is derived from bees, it is unsuitable for keto diets due to its very high carbohydrate (sugar) content, but it is naturally gluten‑free and can be used by those avoiding gluten.
