Why is Mojo mint/lime classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is labeled NOVA 4 because it combines water, refined sugar, carbon dioxide, citric acid, sodium citrate, concentrated apple and lemon juices, natural flavourings, gum arabic (E414) and other processing aids such as a wood‑resin emulsifier, all of which are characteristic of highly industrially formulated beverages.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic diet?

With 10.5 g of sugars per 100 ml, the drink can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is generally considered unsuitable for people managing diabetes or aiming to limit added sugars.

Is Mojo mint/lime suitable for a vegan diet?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, but the sugar’s vegan status is marked as uncertain, so while the product is likely vegan‑friendly, consumers requiring certified vegan labeling should verify with the manufacturer.
