Why is Miel Citron classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product contains refined sugar, glucose syrup, several acidity regulators (E270, E330, E332, E325) and a colorant (E160a); the combination of these industrial ingredients and processing steps places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar content in Miel Citron affect people with diabetes or those trying to limit sugar intake?

At 72 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets and for anyone aiming to keep daily added sugar below recommended limits.

Is the honey in Miel Citron a concern for vegans or individuals with pollen allergies?

The 3.5 % honey makes the product non‑vegan, and while honey can contain trace pollen, most people with mild pollen allergies tolerate it, but those with severe reactions should avoid it.
