Why is CHOKENUT classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

CHOKENUT is made from refined cane sugar, roasted hazelnuts, vegetable fats, cocoa powder and vanilla, all of which undergo processing steps such as heating, grinding and oil extraction, placing the product in NOVA group 3. The label reports zero additives, so the spread contains no artificial colors, preservatives or flavor enhancers.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content in CHOKENUT affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 42.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while the approximately 15 g of saturated fat per 100 g can raise LDL cholesterol and offers little benefit for blood pressure; the very low salt (0.01 g) does not directly worsen hypertension, but the overall high calorie density remains a concern.

Is CHOKENUT suitable for a vegan or gluten-free diet?

Yes, the product contains no animal-derived ingredients or wheat, is certified vegan and gluten-free, and also avoids palm oil and dairy, although its high sugar and saturated-fat levels should be considered within an overall balanced diet.
