Which nutrients are responsible for the Chestnut cream receiving a Nutri‑Score of D?

The low score is driven primarily by the very high sugar content, the lack of protein and the modest fiber amount, while fat and salt are low but do not offset the negative impact of the sugars.

How does the high sugar content of Chestnut cream affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 49 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, and although the salt is low, the overall caloric density may contribute to weight gain, which can aggravate hypertension.

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

Chestnuts are classified as nuts, so the product is flagged for nut allergens and may trigger reactions in individuals who are allergic to tree nuts.
