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

The spread combines refined sugars, vegetable oil, reduced‑fat cocoa powder and an emulsifier system, which are hallmarks of ultra‑processed foods; its only listed additive is E322, sunflower lecithin, used to stabilize the blend.

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

With 47 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so people with diabetes should limit portion size or avoid it altogether.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in this spread a concern for nut allergies?

Yes, the spread contains 22 % hazelnuts and the label notes possible traces of other nuts and milk, making it unsuitable for anyone with tree‑nut or milk allergies.
