Why is Crepes Chocolat x 15 classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, multiple vegetable oils, dairy and egg ingredients, and undergoes several manufacturing steps such as mixing, cooking and pre-packing, which place it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 group. The only listed additive is the emulsifier soy lecithin (E322) and a natural vanilla flavor, both declared on the label.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content of this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 39 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, making the crepe unsuitable for people managing diabetes without strict portion control, and the 5.5 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol, which can worsen hypertension-related cardiovascular risk; however, its low salt (0.65 g) does not add extra sodium pressure.

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

Yes, the product contains hazelnut paste, a tree-nut ingredient, and therefore must be avoided by anyone with a hazelnut or broader nut allergy.
