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

The spread is made from refined sugar, vegetable oils, hazelnuts and cocoa powder, and includes an emulsifier (sunflower lecithin, listed as E322). These refined ingredients and the added emulsifier place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and moderate fat content of this spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 53 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetics, while its 0.13 g salt per 100 g is low, posing less risk for hypertension, though the high fat and calorie load may impact overall heart‑healthy dietary goals.

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

Yes, hazelnut is declared as an allergen in the ingredient list, and the product is labeled with a nut allergen warning, so individuals with nut allergies should avoid it.
