Why is honey roast peanuts and cashews classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack includes added sugars, glucose syrup, sunflower oil, honey and a stabiliser, which require multiple industrial steps; the only listed additive is the stabiliser xanthan gum (E415).

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

With 15.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, while its modest salt level (0.34 g) has limited impact on hypertension but does not offset the sugar concern.

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

Yes, peanuts make up 45 % of the mix and are declared an allergen; individuals with peanut allergy should avoid this product to prevent potential severe reactions.
