Why is Frusli Juicy Blueberries Chewy Cereal Bars classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made with refined ingredients such as added sugar, glucose syrup, honey, vegetable oil, and fruit concentrates, and it undergoes multiple processing steps like drying, concentrating and flavoring, which places it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 group; its only listed additive is pectin (E440) used as a gelling agent, together with natural flavourings.

How does the sugar content of 28.6 g per 100 g in these bars affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

A sugar level of 28.6 g per 100 g provides a rapid rise in blood glucose, making the bars unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while the very low salt (0.03 g per 100 g) means they are not a major concern for hypertension but the high sugar still contributes to cardiovascular risk.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in this product a risk for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the bars contain chopped roasted hazelnuts and list hazelnuts as an allergen, so individuals with tree-nut allergies should avoid them as exposure can trigger severe allergic reactions.
