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

The product is made from refined sugar, hazelnuts, vegetable oils (sunflower and rapeseed), milk powder, cocoa powder, cocoa butter and a small amount of sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier, which all contribute to its ultra‑processed status.

How does the sugar and saturated fat content in this hazelnut spread affect a diabetic or heart‑healthy diet?

With 51 g of sugar and 5.2 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and increase LDL cholesterol, so it should be limited or avoided by people managing diabetes or cardiovascular risk.

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

Yes, hazelnut is listed as a declared allergen, and the product also carries a trace‑nut warning, so anyone with a tree‑nut allergy should avoid it.
