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

The product combines multiple processed components such as honey, glucose syrup, powdered milk, and various flavorings, and it includes several food‑industry additives: sorbic acid (E200) as a preservative, lecithins (E322 and E322i) as emulsifiers, sorbitol (E420) as a stabilizer, and mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids. The complexity of the ingredient list and the use of these additives meet the criteria for a NOVA 4 classification.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content in this turron assortment affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 45 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for uncontrolled diabetes without careful portion control. The 20 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, which is a concern for cardiovascular health, while the relatively low salt (0.2 g) does not significantly impact blood pressure, but overall calorie density (586 kcal) warrants moderation.

Is the almond content in this product a concern for people with nut allergies, and how is it indicated on the label?

Yes, almonds make up about 60 % of several turron varieties in the assortment, and the product is clearly labelled with the allergen warning for nuts (almonds), along with eggs, milk and soy, so anyone with a nut allergy should avoid it.
