Why is Beignet chocolat noisette x 6 classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because it is made from refined wheat flour, added glucose syrup, concentrated skimmed milk, vegetable fats, flavorings and an emulsifier, all of which are industrially processed ingredients; the only listed additive is soy lecithin (E322).

How does the sugar and salt content of this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 22 g of sugar per 100 g, the doughnut provides a high glycaemic load that can raise blood glucose levels, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, and its 0.88 g of salt per 100 g contributes a moderate amount of sodium that may increase blood pressure for hypertensive individuals, so consumption should be limited.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in this product a concern for nut-allergic consumers?

Yes, the product contains 1.8 % hazelnut paste and also lists hazelnuts among its allergens, along with eggs, milk, wheat gluten and soy, so anyone with a nut allergy - or any of the other listed allergies - should avoid it.
