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

The jam is labeled NOVA 4 because it contains added sugar, concentrated lemon juice and a food‑grade pectin (E440) used as a gelling agent, all of which go beyond simple whole‑fruit preparation and place it in the ultra‑processed category.

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

With 39 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic management, and although its salt is negligible, the high sugar load can indirectly influence blood pressure, so it should be consumed only in very limited amounts by those with hypertension.

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

All listed ingredients, strawberries, sugar, fruit juices, lemon juice and pectin, are plant‑derived, so the jam is gluten‑free, Halal and generally considered vegan; however, its high sugar content makes it unsuitable for keto diets.

Product Insights

Confiture de fraise Intense is a strawberry jam from Bonne Maman belonging to the Sugary snacks group. It carries a Nutri‑Score of D and is classified in NOVA group 4, reflecting its ultra‑processed status due to added sugar, concentrated lemon juice and a pectin gelling agent. While it offers a high fruit content (67 % strawberries) and low fat and salt, its 39 g of sugars per 100 g and the presence of an additive (E440) keep its nutritional profile on the less favorable side.
