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

It is considered ultra‑processed because the ingredient list consists mainly of refined components such as refined sugar, vegetable oils, cocoa powder, skimmed milk powder, and an emulsifier, rather than whole‑food ingredients; the only listed additive is emulsifier E322 (sunflower lecithin).

How does the high sugar content of this spread impact a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 51 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic management, while its low salt (0.1 g) is not a major concern for hypertension, although the overall high calories and fat may affect weight control.

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

Yes; the product contains 20 % hazelnuts, making it a significant allergen for anyone sensitive to tree nuts, and it is labeled accordingly for milk and nut allergens.
