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

The jam is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes industrial food‑type additives: pectin (E440i) is used as a thickener and citric acid (E330) as an acidulant; these processed ingredients place the product in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic diet?

With 43.2 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam delivers a large glucose load that can cause rapid blood‑sugar spikes, so people with diabetes should consume it only in very small amounts or avoid it altogether.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for gluten‑free, vegan, or other strict diets?

The jam contains only peach, sugar, pectin and citric acid, all of which are plant‑derived and free from gluten, making it suitable for gluten‑free and vegan diets, but its high sugar concentration makes it unsuitable for low‑carb or keto regimes.
