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

The jam is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes added sugars, a commercial pectin gel‑strengthening agent (E440) and an antioxidant (vitamin C, E300), all commonly used in industrial food processing to improve texture, shelf‑life and color.

How does the high sugar content in Confiture Mirabelles affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 59 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while its very low salt (0.02 g) has minimal impact on hypertension but does not offset the risks posed by the excess sugar.

Is Confiture Mirabelles suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

All ingredients are plant‑derived, so the jam is vegan and contains no gluten, but its high carbohydrate and sugar content makes it incompatible with a keto diet.
