Why is Peanut Butter Spread classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is actually categorized as NOVA 3, indicating moderate processing; its ingredient list shows only roasted peanuts, palm oil and salt, with no listed additives or preservatives.

How does the high salt content in Peanut Butter Spread affect a hypertensive diet?

With 13.6 g of salt per 100 g, the spread contributes a large amount of sodium, which can raise blood pressure and is generally unsuitable for people managing hypertension.

Is the palm oil in Peanut Butter Spread a concern for sustainability or allergens?

Palm oil raises sustainability concerns due to deforestation, but it is not a common allergen; the primary allergy risk comes from peanuts, which are listed as a major allergen.
