Why is Purée de noisettes classified as minimally processed (NOVA 1) and does it contain any additives?

It is made of 100 % hazelnuts with no other ingredients or processing steps, so it contains no additives and meets the criteria for NOVA 1, the lowest level of food processing.

Is the low sugar and salt content of this hazelnut purée appropriate for diabetic or hypertensive diets?

Yes, the product’s sugar (3.9 g/100 g) and salt (0.01 g/100 g) levels are well below typical averages, making it suitable for diabetic or hypertensive individuals, provided portion size is controlled because of its high fat content.

Can individuals with nut allergies consume this product safely?

No, the purée consists entirely of hazelnuts, a tree nut, and is labeled with a nut allergen warning, so it should be avoided by anyone allergic to nuts.
