Why is Bitter Orange Marmalade classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The marmalade receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is formulated primarily from refined sugar and includes industrial ingredients such as citrus pectin (E440) to give it a gelled texture and citric acid (E330) as an acidity regulator, both of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the high sugar content of this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 65 g of sugar per 100 g, the marmalade can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so individuals with diabetes should limit or avoid it; the product contains no added salt, so it does not directly aggravate hypertension, but the excessive sugar can indirectly impact cardiovascular health.

Is this marmalade suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The ingredients are all plant‑derived, making the spread both vegan and certified gluten‑free, but its very high sugar concentration makes it unsuitable for keto or other low‑carb regimens.
