Why is Pflaumen entsteint classified as a processed (NOVA 3) product and what additives does it contain?

The pruning process removes pits and the fruit is then dried, which classifies it as a processed food (NOVA 3). The only listed additive is potassium sorbate, a preservative used to extend shelf life and prevent microbial growth.

How does the 30 g of sugar per 100 g in this dried prune affect people managing diabetes or a low‑sugar diet?

Thirty grams of sugar per 100 g is a high amount that can raise blood glucose levels quickly, so individuals with diabetes or those following a low‑sugar regimen should consume the product in small portions and account for its sugar content within their overall daily intake.

Is this product suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten‑free diets, and does it contain any common allergens?

Yes, the prunes are plant‑based and the product is labelled vegan and vegetarian. It does not contain gluten, dairy, nuts, or soy, and no common allergens are listed among the ingredients.
