Why is Selection of chocolates classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because it combines refined sugar with several industrial ingredients such as palm oil, soy lecithin (E322i), invertase (E1103), and a blended emulsifier, all of which are typical of NOVA 4 foods.

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

At 50 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic management, while its low salt (0.21 g) is not a major concern for hypertension but the overall high calorie load remains a challenge for heart‑healthy diets.

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

Yes, hazelnut paste is a tree‑nut ingredient and the label also warns of possible cross‑contamination with other nuts, so individuals with nut allergies should avoid this chocolate selection.
