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

The spread includes refined sugar, sunflower oil, milk powder, whey, soy lecithin and a vanilla flavor, all of which require multiple industrial steps such as refining, emulsifying and drying; this level of processing assigns it to NOVA group 4. The only listed additives are the emulsifiers E322 and E322i (lecithin), which help achieve a smooth texture.

How does the sugar content in this spread affect a diabetic diet?

With 45 g of sugars per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic management unless consumed in very small portions and its carbohydrate amount is carefully accounted for within the daily limit.

Based on the ingredients, is this spread suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains milk, whey and soy, so it is not vegan. Its high fat and especially high sugar content make it incompatible with a strict keto regimen. It does not list any gluten‑containing ingredients, so it can be considered gluten‑free for consumers without cross‑contamination concerns.
