Why is Carrefour Nuts & Fruits Abricots Séché classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is dried fruit that undergoes treatment with sulfur dioxide (E220) to preserve colour and extend shelf‑life, which places it in NOVA group 3 as a moderately processed food and the only listed additive is this sulfite preservative.

How does the 29 g of sugar per 100 g in this dried apricot snack impact a diabetic or blood‑glucose‑controlled diet?

With 29 g of sugars per 100 g, the snack can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, so people managing diabetes should limit portion sizes and count the carbohydrates as part of their daily intake.

Is the sulfur dioxide preservative and the possible traces of nuts and peanuts a risk for people with sulfite or nut allergies?

Yes, sulfur dioxide can trigger reactions in sulfite‑sensitive individuals, and the label notes possible trace amounts of peanuts and tree nuts, so anyone with these allergies should avoid the product.
