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

NOVA 4 applies because Nutoka is made from refined sugar, rapeseed oil, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa powder and includes processed ingredients such as emulsifiers. The only listed additive is lecithin (E322), used to stabilise the spread.

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

Fifty grams of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the spread unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while 7.3 g of saturated fat adds to cholesterol levels, which may aggravate hypertension and cardiovascular risk if consumed regularly.

Is the presence of hazelnuts in Nutoka a concern for consumers with nut allergies?

Yes. Hazelnuts are declared as an ingredient and are highlighted as an allergen, so anyone with a tree‑nut allergy should avoid Nutoka entirely.
