Why is 2x100g Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is made from refined sugar, cocoa butter, milk powders and hazelnuts and includes processed components such as soy lecithin (E322) as an emulsifier and a flavoring, which are typical of ultra-processed foods.

How does the high sugar and modest salt content of this chocolate affect people managing diabetes or hypertension?

With 49 g of sugar per 100 g, the chocolate can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic diets, while its low salt level (0.22 g) is unlikely to aggravate hypertension but the overall calorie density still requires moderation.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in this chocolate a concern for individuals with nut allergies?

Yes, the product contains 16 % hazelnuts and is labeled for possible cross‑contamination with other nuts, so anyone allergic to tree nuts should avoid it.
