Why is Nuss Nougat Creme classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread is made from refined sugar, refined rapeseed and sunflower oils, reduced‑fat cocoa powder, milk powder and emulsified with lecithin (E322); these industrially processed ingredients and the presence of an added emulsifier place it in NOVA group 4, indicating an ultra‑processed product.

How does the sugar and fat content of Nuss Nougat Creme affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 47 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its 35.9 g of total fat (including 6.1 g saturated fat) adds to calorie intake and may contribute to elevated cholesterol, but its low salt (0.1 g) does not significantly impact blood pressure.

Is the hazelnut in Nuss Nougat Creme a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the product contains 20 % hazelnuts and is labeled with a milk and nut allergen warning; it may also contain traces of other tree nuts, so anyone with a nut allergy should avoid it.
