Why is Crush pate a tartiner classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the formulation includes refined sugars, a hazelnut paste, skimmed milk powder, and an emulsifier (soy lecithin, listed as E322), all of which are characteristic of ultra-processed foods.

How does the high sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 24 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its very low salt (0.16 g) does not add significant sodium for hypertension, but the overall high carbohydrate load may still be a concern.

Is the hazelnut paste in Crush pate a tartiner a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the product contains hazelnut paste (5.9% of the formula) and therefore should be avoided by anyone with tree-nut allergies; it also contains wheat gluten and milk powder, which are additional allergens.
