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

It is placed in NOVA group 4 because the formulation includes added sugars, concentrated lemon juice, and a gelling agent; the only listed additive is E440, which is fruit pectin used to set the jam.

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

With 38 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so people with diabetes should limit portion size; the 0.03 g of salt is negligible for hypertension but does not offset the high sugar load.

Is this spread suitable for vegans, and does it contain any common allergens such as gluten or palm oil?

All ingredients, apricots, sugar, lemon juice and pectin, are plant‑derived, so the product fits a vegan diet and contains no dairy, egg, nuts, gluten or palm oil, making it free from the most common allergens.
