Why is this spread classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product combines refined sugar, multiple vegetable oils, powdered milk, whey, cocoa powder and emulsifiers, all of which are typical of industrial food formulations, resulting in a NOVA 4 classification. It lists the additive E322 (sunflower lecithin) and its variant E322i as emulsifiers, and also includes a flavoring ingredient.

How does the sugar and salt content in this spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 55.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes. The salt level is relatively low at 0.12 g, so it has minimal impact on blood pressure, but the high sugar content remains the main concern for hypertensive individuals who need to limit overall carbohydrate intake.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in this product a concern for nut allergies?

Yes, the spread contains 13% hazelnuts and the label highlights hazelnut as an allergen, so anyone with tree‑nut allergies should avoid it.
