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

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because it combines roasted peanuts with several industrial ingredients such as refined sugar, cocoa butter, sunflower oil, vanilla extract, salt and an emulsifier (sunflower lecithin, listed as E322), all of which are added after the initial roasting step.

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

With 12 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause noticeable blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable as a regular sweetener for people with diabetes; its 0.53 g of salt per 100 g exceeds the average sugary‑snack level and may contribute to higher blood pressure, so hypertensive individuals should limit consumption.

Is the peanut content in this spread a concern for people with peanut allergies?

Yes – peanuts make up 85 % of the formulation, so the product is unsafe for anyone with a peanut allergy, and the label also notes possible cross‑contamination with other nuts and sesame seeds.
