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

It is classified as ultra-processed because the jam contains several industrial ingredients beyond the fruit, such as refined sugar, cane sugar, concentrated lemon juice and fruit pectin, which is listed as additive E440.

How does the high sugar content in Confiture Abricots affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 59 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making the jam unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, while its negligible salt means it has little direct impact on hypertension, though the overall high sugar still contributes to cardiovascular risk.

Is the apricot ingredient in Confiture Abricots a concern for people with apricot allergies?

Yes, apricots are the primary ingredient and are listed as an allergen, so individuals who are allergic to apricots should avoid this jam.
