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

The drink is labeled NOVA 4 because it is made from peach puree, water and several industrial ingredients, including the acidulant citric acid (E330) and the non‑nutritive sweeteners cyclamates (E952) and saccharin (E954), which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 4.5 g of sugars per 100 ml, the nectar adds a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose; diabetics should count it toward their daily sugar allowance and consider limiting portion size.

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

The formula contains only plant‑derived ingredients and is labeled gluten‑free, so it fits vegan and gluten‑free diets, but its carbohydrate level (5.1 g sugars and carbs per 100 ml) makes it unsuitable for strict keto regimens.
