Why is Organic hazelnut spread classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread includes refined sugar, palm oil, sunflower oil, skimmed milk powder and a small amount of sunflower lecithin used as an emulsifier; the combination of multiple isolated ingredients and added sugars places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and salt content in this spread affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

At 56 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is unsuitable for a diabetic diet, while its low salt (0.1 g) is not a major concern for hypertension, but the overall high caloric density makes it a poor choice for heart‑healthy eating.

Is the hazelnut component in this spread a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes; the product contains 14 % hazelnuts and is labeled with a nut allergen warning, so anyone allergic to hazelnuts or tree nuts should avoid it.
