Why is Schwarzkirsche, weniger Zucker classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The jam contains added sucrose, pectin as a gelling agent, citric acid for acidity, and often a small amount of preservative such as potassium sorbate; these processed ingredients and the manufacturing steps place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar content in this reduced-sugar black cherry jam affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 36.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic meal plans, and although it contains no added salt, the high sugar load can still impact cardiovascular risk, so it should be limited.

Is this jam suitable for vegan, gluten-free, or keto diets?

Yes, the product is certified vegan and gluten-free, but it is not compatible with a keto diet because its carbohydrate content (37.5 g per 100 g) and sugar level are too high for low-carb regimes.
