Why is Pate a tartiner bio noisette cacao classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because it includes several industrially processed ingredients such as added sugar, refined rapeseed oil, skimmed milk powder, and an emulsifier; the only listed additive is E322 (sunflower lecithin) used to improve texture.

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

The high sugar level of 55 g per 100 g can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making the spread unsuitable for people with diabetes, while the low salt level of 0.13 g does not pose a concern for hypertension, but the overall high calorie and sugar load remains problematic.

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

Yes, the product contains 16 % hazelnuts and lists nuts as an allergen, so it must be avoided by anyone with hazelnut or tree-nut allergy; it also contains skimmed milk powder, which is a dairy allergen.
