Why is Pate a tartiner aux noisettes classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread combines refined sugar, vegetable oils, milk powder, butter, whey and an emulsifier, all of which require industrial processing; this level of ingredient refinement and the presence of additives such as the emulsifier E322 (sunflower lecithin) place it in NOVA group 4.

How does the high sugar and saturated-fat content of this spread affect individuals with diabetes or hypertension?

The 52 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, while the 13 g of saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk, which is especially concerning for people with hypertension or heart disease; therefore it should be consumed only occasionally.

Is the presence of hazelnuts, milk powder, and soy in this spread a concern for people with nut, dairy, or soy allergies?

Yes. Hazelnuts, milk powder, and soy are listed as allergens on the label, so anyone with nut, dairy, or soy allergies should avoid this product.
