Why does Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients drive this rating?

The D rating stems mainly from its high energy (190 kcal per 34 g serving), elevated total fat (11 g) and saturated fat (2 g) combined with a low amount of positive points for fiber (1 g) and no fruit/vegetable content, which together outweigh the modest protein content.

How does the sugar and fat content of this spread affect people with diabetes or those watching their blood sugar?

Because sugar is the primary ingredient (estimated ~56 % of the product) and the spread is energy‑dense, it can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes; individuals with diabetes should limit portion size and consider it an occasional treat rather than a regular breakfast item.

Is Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No, it is not vegan because it contains skimmed milk powder, and it is not keto‑friendly due to its high sugar and carbohydrate content. It is gluten‑free, as no wheat‑derived ingredients are listed.
