Why does Spicchi di mele receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score D results from very high sugar (57 g per 100 g) which adds maximum negative points; although the product has a good amount of fiber (8.7 g) and a 75 % fruit‑vegetable share, these positives are insufficient to offset the sugar penalty.

How does the high sugar content in these dried apple slices affect people with diabetes or those watching their blood glucose?

With 57 g of sugars per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable as a regular food for diabetics or anyone on a low‑glycemic diet unless consumed in very small portions and balanced with low‑sugar foods.

Is the sulphur dioxide used as an antioxidant in Spicchi di mele a concern for individuals with sulphite allergies?

Sulphur dioxide (E220) is added to preserve colour and prevent microbial growth, but it can trigger asthmatic reactions or other symptoms in sulphite‑sensitive people, so those with a known sulphite allergy should avoid the product.
