Why is Compal Classic Nectar Orange classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The drink is made from orange juice concentrate, water, sugar and a small amount of orange pulp, which requires industrial processing and therefore falls into NOVA group 3; its only listed additives are citric acid (E330) used as an acidity regulator and ascorbic acid (E300) serving as a preservative and source of vitamin C.

How does the sugar content of this orange nectar affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 9.1 g of total sugars and an estimated 12.5 g of added sugars per 100 g, the beverage supplies a moderate amount of sugar that can raise blood glucose levels and contributes no salt, so it may fit into a controlled‑sugar plan for diabetes but should be consumed in limited portions, while its zero salt makes it neutral for hypertension.

Is the orange pulp in this nectar a concern for people with citrus allergies?

The product contains 0.7 % orange pulp, which is derived from the same fruit as the juice; individuals allergic to citrus should avoid it, as even the small pulp fraction can trigger reactions.
