Why is the hazelnut chocolate spread classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because it is made from refined sugar, vegetable oils, cocoa powder, and includes added emulsifiers; the only listed additive is sunflower lecithin (E322), used to stabilize the mixture.

How does the high sugar content in this spread affect a diabetic or blood‑glucose‑controlled diet?

With 56 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose levels, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by people with diabetes or those managing blood‑sugar; it should be used only sparingly or avoided.

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

Yes, the product contains 13 % hazelnuts and is labeled with a nut allergen warning, so anyone allergic to tree nuts should avoid it.
