Why is Grenadine syrup classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The syrup is made from refined sugar, water and fruit‑juice concentrates that are processed and blended with added citric acid (E330), a generic flavoring and a natural vanilla flavoring. These industrial ingredients and the extensive processing steps place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar content in Grenadine syrup affect people with diabetes or those monitoring sugar intake?

With 11 g of sugars per 100 g, the syrup can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so individuals with diabetes or who are managing their sugar consumption should use it sparingly or avoid it altogether.

Is Grenadine syrup suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The product uses sugar, water and fruit extracts, which are vegan, and it contains no gluten‑containing ingredients, making it technically gluten‑free. However, the flavorings are listed as "maybe" vegan, and the high carbohydrate content (11 g sugars) makes it unsuitable for a keto diet.
