Why is Pâte à tartiner aux noisettes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread combines refined sugar, skimmed‑milk powder, rapeseed oil, reduced‑fat cocoa powder and hazelnuts, all of which are industrially processed ingredients, and it includes the emulsifier E322 (sunflower lecithin), a hallmark of ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 47 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is generally unsuitable for a diabetic diet, while its low salt level (0.13 g) is acceptable for hypertension but the high fat and calorie density may still impact weight management.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in this spread a concern for nut allergies, and how is it sourced?

Hazelnuts make up about 35 % of the product and are a known allergen; individuals with nut allergies should avoid it. The hazelnuts are sourced from the Lot‑et‑Garonne region in France, complying with EU food safety standards.
