Why is Confiture 3 agrumes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The jam combines several industrially processed ingredients, refined sugar, concentrated orange juice, clémentines, lemons and a gelling agent (pectin, listed as E440). This blend of added sugars, fruit concentrates and a food‑grade additive pushes the product into the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed tier.

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

With 37 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its very low salt (0.03 g) does not exacerbate hypertension; however, its overall calorie density may contribute to weight gain if consumed excessively.

Is the orange component in this product a concern for individuals with citrus allergies?

Yes, oranges are listed as an allergen in the ingredient list, so anyone with a citrus or orange allergy should avoid this jam.
