Why does Cookie choc noiset maxi pépites receive a Nutri-Score of E, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri-Score is driven mainly by its very high sugar (33 g) and saturated-fat (10 g) content, together with a high total-fat level (27 g) and energy (505 kcal) per 100 g, while the modest fiber (4.4 g) provides insufficient positive points, resulting in a low E grade.

How do the sugar and salt levels of this cookie affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 33 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookie can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, whereas its low salt (0.31 g) is well below typical snack levels and therefore does not pose a significant hypertension risk.

Is the presence of hazelnuts in this cookie a concern for nut-allergic consumers?

Yes; the product contains 10.5 % chopped hazelnuts, so anyone with a tree-nut allergy should avoid it, and the label also lists nuts as an allergen.
