Why is Limo Zitrone classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It contains carbonated water, added sugars, citric acid (E330), carbon dioxide (E290), and ascorbic acid (E300) among other flavorings and stabilizers; the combination of added sugars, acidulants, a stabilizer (carob seed flour) and flavorings meets the criteria for an ultra‑processed product in the NOVA system.

How does the sugar content of Limo Zitrone affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

Each 100 ml delivers 8.3 g of sugar, which can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose and challenge diabetes management; while the drink contains no salt and therefore does not directly raise blood pressure, the high sugar intake can contribute to metabolic risk factors associated with hypertension.

Is Limo Zitrone suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The soda is certified vegan and gluten‑free, but its sugar level (8.3 g per 100 ml) makes it unsuitable for strict keto or low‑carb diets, which require minimal carbohydrate intake.
