Why is Crepes Cracky x8 classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because it contains refined wheat flour, added sugars, multiple emulsifiers and an enrobing agent, it falls into NOVA group 4; the product lists five additives: E322 (lecithin), E322i (lecithin variant), E500 (sodium bicarbonate), E500ii (sodium bicarbonate type II), and E904 (an enrobing agent).

How does the high sugar content of Crepes Cracky x8 affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 34 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, and while its salt is only slightly above average, the combination of high sugar and saturated fat also raises cardiovascular risk for people with hypertension.

Are the hazelnut paste and trace nuts in Crepes Cracky x8 a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes; the product contains hazelnut paste and is marked as having traces of nuts, so anyone with a tree-nut allergy should avoid it.
