Why is Finest Selection Mandel Knusper Vielfalt classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It contains refined sugar, cocoa butter, milk powders, glucose syrup, palm oil, emulsifier lecithin (E322) and flavorings, all of which are industrially processed ingredients, leading to its NOVA 4 classification.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 44.5 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, while the 19 g of saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol, and the 0.22 g of salt, though lower than average, still contributes to sodium intake; together these factors make it unsuitable for regular consumption by people with diabetes or high blood pressure.

Is the almond content in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, almonds (as well as hazelnuts and pistachios) are listed as allergens, so anyone with a nut allergy should avoid this confection.
