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

The spread combines refined cane sugar, refined vegetable oils, a dairy milk powder and an emulsifier, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods; its only listed additive is sunflower lecithin (E322), used to keep the oil and water phases stable.

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

The 57.6 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for uncontrolled diabetes, while the 27.5 g of fat adds extra calories; however, its low salt (0.12 g) means it does not significantly raise blood pressure, but portion control is essential for both conditions.

Is the presence of milk powder and hazelnuts a concern for consumers with common food allergies?

Yes; the product contains skimmed milk powder, which triggers dairy allergies, and 16 % hazelnuts, a tree‑nut allergen, so anyone allergic to milk or nuts should avoid it.
