Why is Corny Erdnuss süß & salzig classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar contains many refined ingredients such as glucose syrup, fructose syrup, palm oil, added sugars and a processed peanut paste, which together with the emulsifier lecithin (E322) place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content of this bar affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 30.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its 0.43 g of salt is moderate but still adds to daily sodium intake, which may be problematic for hypertension if consumed regularly.

Is the peanut content in this bar a concern for consumers with nut allergies, and how is it labeled?

Yes, the bar contains 27 % roasted peanuts and an additional 4 % peanut paste, and the allergens are clearly highlighted on the label, so anyone with a peanut allergy should avoid it.
