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

The jam is classified as NOVA 4 because it is formulated from refined sugar, fruit puree, lemon‑juice concentrate and a food‑grade gelling agent (pectin, identified as additive E440). The high proportion of added sugar and the use of processed fruit concentrate are key factors that place it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the high sugar content affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 53.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic meal plans, while its very low salt (0.02 g) does not pose a direct risk for hypertension but the overall caloric load should still be considered.

Is Confiture de fraises suitable for a vegan diet?

All listed ingredients, sugar, strawberries, lemon‑juice concentrate and pectin, are plant‑based, so the jam contains no animal‑derived components and can be regarded as vegan, although no official vegan certification is provided.
