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

The jam is considered ultra‑processed because it contains added refined sugar, a concentrated lemon juice concentrate, and a gelling agent (pectin) listed as additive E440, all of which are industrial ingredients that go beyond simple fruit and water.

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

With 58 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people with diabetes without strict portion control; its very low salt (0.02 g) does not significantly impact hypertension, but the overall high sugar load remains a concern for heart‑healthy eating.

Is the strawberry content in this jam a concern for people with strawberry allergies?

Yes, the jam contains 20 % strawberries, so anyone allergic to strawberries should avoid it, as even the processing does not eliminate the allergenic proteins.
