Why is the Hazelnut cocoa spread classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made with refined vegetable oils, maltitol sweetener, processed dairy powders and flavorings, which places it in the ultra‑processed category; the listed additives are maltitol (E965) for sweetness, rapeseed lecithin (E322) as an emulsifier, and natural vanilla flavor.

How does the sugar content in this spread influence a diabetic or low‑sugar diet?

The spread provides 8.2 g of sugars per 100 g, far lower than typical sweet spreads, and most of the sweetness comes from maltitol, a sugar‑alcohol with a reduced glycemic response, but the total carbohydrate amount still requires portion control for diabetics.

Is the hazelnut paste in this spread a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the product contains 13 % hazelnut paste and is labeled with a nut allergen warning, so anyone with tree‑nut allergies should avoid it.
