Why is Milchmäuse Eis am Stiel – Haselnuss classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from refined dairy ingredients, added sugars, glucose syrup, and a chocolate coating, all of which undergo multiple industrial steps; it also includes four food‑grade additives: E322 (lecithin), E412 (guar gum), E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids), and E476 (polyglycerin‑polyricinoleate).

How do the sugar and salt levels in this ice cream affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 27.2 g of sugars per 100 ml, the ice cream can cause a rapid blood‑glucose spike, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its 0.16 g of salt is modest but still adds to daily sodium intake, which may be relevant for hypertension management.

Is the hazelnut present in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the ice cream contains 4 % hazelnut pieces, so it poses a clear risk for individuals with tree‑nut allergies and should be avoided by those sensitive to hazelnuts.
