Why is Confitura de fresa classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The jam includes added refined sugars, glucose‑fructose syrup, pectin (E440) as a gelling agent and citric acid (E330) as an acidulant, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods, leading to its NOVA 4 classification.

How does the high sugar content in this strawberry jam affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 63 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its negligible salt means it does not directly affect blood pressure, but the overall high sugar still makes it a limited choice for hypertension management.

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

The product contains only plant‑derived ingredients, so it is vegan and gluten‑free, but its high carbohydrate and sugar content makes it incompatible with keto dietary requirements.
