Why is Hazelnut and Cocoa Spread classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread is made from many refined ingredients such as sugar, vegetable oils, skimmed milk powder, cocoa powder and emulsified with sunflower lecithin (E322), which together classify it as ultra‑processed under the NOVA system.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 51 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is unsuitable for diabetes management, while the 5.2 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated cholesterol levels, a concern for hypertension and heart‑health diets.

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

Yes, the product contains 20 % hazelnuts and is labelled with a nut allergen warning, so anyone allergic to tree nuts should avoid it.
