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

The product is made from refined sugar, multiple vegetable oils, cocoa powder, milk proteins and several flavorings, which requires industrial processing steps; it also includes an emulsifier (lecithin, listed as E322) and added sugars, all criteria that place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of this spread affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 45 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while 12 g of saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol and may exacerbate hypertension; the low salt level does not offset these concerns.

Is the pistachio ingredient in this cream a problem for consumers with nut allergies, and does the product contain any other common allergens?

Yes, pistachios are tree nuts and will trigger reactions in individuals allergic to nuts; the product also lists milk proteins, soy flour, sweet whey powder, cashew nuts and almonds, so it presents multiple allergen risks beyond pistachios.
