Why is 2fruity Parfum Fraise‑Citron vert classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The gum is made from a gum base, multiple sweeteners, emulsifiers, colourants and other processing aids, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; its label lists additives such as E951 (aspartame), E950 (acesulfame‑K), E420 (sorbitol), E965 (maltitol), E141, E160a, E100, E322 (lecithin), E466 (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) and E903 among others.

How does the low sugar content and the presence of polyols in this gum affect people with diabetes or those prone to digestive issues?

The gum’s negligible sugar (0.1 g) makes it suitable for blood‑glucose control, but the polyols maltitol and sorbitol are only partially absorbed and can ferment in the gut, potentially causing bloating, gas or laxative effects in individuals sensitive to these sugar alcohols.

Is this gum suitable for vegan or phenylketonuria (PKU) diets given its ingredients?

No; the product contains gelatin, which is animal‑derived and thus not vegan, and it includes aspartame, a source of phenylalanine, which must be avoided by people with PKU.
