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

The jam receives a NOVA 4 rating because it combines whole fruits with several refined ingredients such as added sugars, cane sugar, concentrated lemon juice and a gelling agent. The only listed additive is pectin (E440), which is used to achieve the spreadable texture.

How does the high sugar content in this jam affect people with diabetes or those managing blood glucose?

With 56.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, so individuals with diabetes should limit portion size or avoid it altogether and consider low‑sugar alternatives.

Is Confiture 4 fruits compatible with a vegan diet, and are there any potential allergens to be aware of?

All listed ingredients – fruit, sugar, cane sugar, lemon juice and pectin – are plant‑based, making the jam suitable for vegans. The product does not contain common allergens such as nuts, gluten or dairy, though people with specific fruit sensitivities should check the strawberry, sour cherry, redcurrant and blackcurrant components.
