Why is Zuegg Frutti di Bosco 0 added sugars classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product uses refined sweeteners such as sorbitol (E420) and stevia glycosides (E960a), along with pectin as a gelling agent, which places it in the NOVA 4 category for ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and polyol content in this jam affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only about 20 g of sugar per 100 g and no added salt, the jam is lower in glucose than typical spreads, but the polyol sorbitol can cause gastrointestinal upset if consumed in large amounts, so diabetics should still monitor portion size.
