Why is Sirop de Grenadine classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The syrup combines refined sugar, glucose‑fructose syrup, citric acid (E330) and a proprietary flavouring, all of which are industrially produced ingredients; this mix of multiple added sugars and processed additives triggers the NOVA 4 classification for ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 20 g of sugars per 100 ml, the syrup can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while its very low salt content has little direct impact on hypertension but the high sugar still poses cardiovascular risks.

Based on the ingredients, is this syrup suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten‑Free?

The product is primarily plant‑based and contains no gluten‑containing grains, so it is likely gluten‑free; however, the source of the glucose‑fructose syrup and flavourings is not declared, leaving its vegan and halal status uncertain, and its high carbohydrate level makes it unsuitable for a keto diet.

Product Insights

Sirop de Grenadine is a 0.75 L steel‑jug syrup sold by Auchan, intended to add a sweet, fruity flavor to drinks. It belongs to the Sweetened beverages group, carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) because it contains high levels of added sugars (20 g per 100 ml) while providing very little fat or protein. Although it offers a blend of fruit‑juice concentrates for taste, its high sugar load and lack of nutritional benefit make it a treat rather than a health‑focused beverage.
