Why is Confiture de MIRABELLES classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The NOVA system places the jam in group 4 because it contains added cane sugar, a gelling agent (fruit pectin) and an acidifier (citric acid), all of which are industrially processed ingredients; the only listed additives are E330 (citric acid) and E440 (fruit pectin).

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

With 50 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be consumed only in very small portions or avoided by people managing diabetes, as it contributes a significant amount of simple carbohydrates without balancing fiber or protein.

Is this jam suitable for a vegan diet despite the presence of "maybe" vegan sugar?

The core ingredients, mirabelle plums, cane sugar, pectin and citric acid, are plant‑based, but refined cane sugar can sometimes be processed with bone char; therefore the product is labeled "maybe vegan" and consumers seeking strict vegan certification should verify the sugar's processing method.
