Why is Abricot, 65% de fruits classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the recipe includes refined sugar and a processed gelling agent, and the only listed additive is E440 (pectin), which is used to give the jam its texture; the sugar itself may be industrially refined, contributing to the ultra-processed status.

How does the sugar content in this apricot jam affect a diabetic or low-sugar diet?

With 38 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose; people with diabetes or who are limiting sugar should consume only small portions or choose a lower-sugar spread, as it provides little protein or fiber to offset the sugar load.

Is the trace of apricot pits (noyaux) in this jam a concern for people with nut or seed allergies?

Apricot pits can contain amygdalin and may trigger reactions in individuals allergic to stone fruits or tree nuts; although the trace level is low, those with known sensitivities should check the label and may prefer a pit-free jam.
