Why is the Strawberry Fruit Spread classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additive does it contain?

The spread is rated NOVA 4 because its formulation relies on processed ingredients such as beet sugar, concentrated lemon juice, and pectin, and it includes an added food‑grade additive, pectin (E440), which acts as a gelling agent to achieve the jam‑like texture.

How does the sugar content of this spread affect people with diabetes or those watching their blood glucose?

With 42 g of sugars per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so people with diabetes or anyone monitoring sugar intake should consume it only in small portions or choose lower‑sugar alternatives to avoid unwanted glycaemic effects.

Is this spread suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The product is certified vegan and contains no gluten‑containing ingredients, making it suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets, but its high sugar content means it does not fit ketogenic diet requirements, which limit carbohydrate intake.
