Why does this product contain the additive sulphites (E220) and what function do they serve?

Sulphites act as antioxidants that prevent oxidation, preserve colour and extend the shelf life of dried fruit, but they can trigger reactions in people who are sensitive to sulphites.

How does the high sugar content of these dried apricots impact a diabetic or low‑sugar diet?

With 44 g of sugar per 100 g, the dried apricots can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so diabetics and those limiting sugar should consume only small portions and count the carbohydrates toward their daily allowance.

Is this dried apricot product suitable for vegan and gluten‑free consumers?

The ingredient list includes only apricots and a sulphite preservative, both plant‑derived and free of gluten, making the product fully compatible with vegan and gluten‑free diets.
