Why is Mix frutos secos y fruta deshidratada classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additive does it contain?

The presence of a fruit‑candy segment with added sugars, flavorings and a gelling agent makes the product an ultra‑processed food, which places it in NOVA 4; the only listed additive is pectin (E440) used as a gelling agent.

How does the high sugar content of this snack affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With about 31 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, posing a challenge for diabetes management, while its very low salt (≈0.03 g) is unlikely to worsen hypertension.

Is the peanut content in this mix a concern for consumers with nut allergies?

Yes; peanuts make up 29 % of the blend and, together with almonds, pistachios and other nuts, the product can trigger allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to peanuts or tree nuts.
