Why is Hazelnut yogurt with chestnut cream classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because the formulation combines several industrial ingredients such as added sugars, chestnut cream, hazelnut praline, and a natural flavouring, all of which undergo multiple processing steps; the product does not list synthetic additives, but the presence of added sugars and flavourings drives its NOVA 4 rating.

How does the high sugar content in this yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 13 g of sugars per 100 g, the yogurt can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes in people with diabetes and contributes to overall sugar intake that may worsen blood‑pressure control for those with hypertension.

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

Yes, the praline contains whole hazelnut kernels and hazelnut oil, and the label lists nuts as an allergen, so individuals allergic to hazelnuts or other tree nuts should avoid this yogurt.
