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

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it undergoes multiple industrial steps such as cooking, concentration of apple juice and the addition of a gelling agent. The only listed additive is pectin (E440), used to give the jam its set texture.

How does the sugar content in this apricot spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 34 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its low salt (0.07 g) is not a concern for hypertension but the high sugar still makes it a less ideal choice for heart‑healthy diets.

Is FiordiFrutta Abricots suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or kosher diets?

Yes, the jam contains only plant‑based ingredients, carries a gluten‑free label and is certified kosher, making it compatible with vegan, gluten‑free and kosher dietary requirements.
