Why is Maracujá classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines mineral water with refined fructose, fruit extracts, concentrated juice and added citric acid, all of which are industrially processed ingredients; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as an acidifier.

How does the sugar and salt content of Maracujá affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.1 g of sugar per 100 ml, the beverage adds a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose, so people with diabetes should limit portion size, while its low salt level (0.1 g per 100 ml) is unlikely to impact hypertension significantly.

Is Maracujá suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients, mineral water, fructose, fruit extracts, passionfruit juice, apple juice, citric acid and natural flavours, are plant‑based, making the drink vegan, gluten‑free and halal; however, the relatively high sugar content means it does not fit a strict keto regimen.
