Why is the Chocolate-filled doughnut classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because it is made from many refined ingredients and includes industrial additives such as mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) and carotenoid colourants (E160), which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content of this doughnut affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 20 g of sugar per 100 g, the doughnut can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while its 0.7 g of salt adds to daily sodium intake and may impact blood‑pressure control in hypertensive individuals.

Is the presence of nuts, eggs, gluten and milk in this product a concern for people with common food allergies?

Yes, the product contains eggs, wheat gluten, whole‑milk powder and traces of hazelnut paste, so anyone allergic to these ingredients should avoid it.
