Why does this product contain additives such as citric acid (E330) and ascorbic acid (E300), and what functions do they serve?

Citric acid is used as an acidity regulator to preserve colour and balance taste, while ascorbic acid acts as an antioxidant that prevents oxidation of the fruit puree, extending shelf life without altering flavour.

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

The 14 g of sugar per 100 g is lower than many sweetened desserts but still contributes to daily carbohydrate intake, so people with diabetes should monitor portion size, whereas the very low salt level (0.0025 g) makes it suitable for hypertension management.

Is this apple‑banana compote suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients, apple puree, banana puree, citric acid and ascorbic acid, are plant‑derived, so the product is both vegan‑friendly and naturally gluten‑free.
