Why is Sisinni liquid chocolate spread classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread is made from refined ingredients such as maltitol, stevia glycosides, roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder, vegetable oils, whey and milk powders, and it includes added emulsifiers (soy lecithin) and flavor enhancers, which all qualify it as an ultra‑processed product in NOVA group 4.

How does the sugar and fat content of this spread affect people with diabetes or cardiovascular concerns?

The product has no added sugar and very low salt, so it does not raise blood glucose or blood pressure directly, but its high total fat (41 g) and calorie density (530 kcal per 100 g) can increase saturated‑fat intake and overall energy consumption, which may be detrimental for heart health if eaten in large amounts.

Is this spread suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or palm‑oil‑free diets?

The spread is gluten‑free and palm‑oil‑free, but it is not vegan because it contains whey powder and whole‑milk powder, while the soy lecithin and other plant‑based ingredients are vegan‑compatible.
