Why is Mousseline de pommes classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 3 rating because it is a cooked and sweetened fruit puree that includes added sugar and functional additives; the label lists two additives: citric acid (E330), used as an acidity regulator, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C, E300), used as an antioxidant.

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

With 19 g of sugars per 100 g, the apple mousseline delivers a rapid glucose load that can raise blood sugar levels quickly, so people managing diabetes should treat it as a sugary food and consume only small portions or avoid it altogether.

Is the citric acid in this product a concern for people with acid reflux?

Citric acid is a weak organic acid added to balance acidity; for individuals prone to acid reflux it can increase stomach acidity and potentially trigger symptoms, so they should limit intake or choose non‑acidified fruit purees.
