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

Peripella falls into the NOVA 4 category because it is made from refined sugar, vegetable oil, emulsifiers, flavorings and antioxidant additives, all of which are industrially processed. The additives listed are soy lecithin (E322) as an emulsifier, a tocopherol-rich extract (E306) and ascorbyl palmitate (E304i) as antioxidants, plus flavoring agents.

How does the high sugar content in Peripella affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With about 53 g of sugar per 100 g, Peripella can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes and is not suitable for people managing diabetes; its low salt (0.12 g) is modest for hypertension, but the overall high sugar outweighs any benefit for a hypertensive diet.

Is the hazelnut paste in Peripella a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, Peripella contains approximately 13 % hazelnut paste, and hazelnuts are a listed allergen, so anyone with a tree-nut allergy should avoid this spread.

Product Insights

Peripella is a sweet hazelnut-cocoa spread classified under the 'Sugary snacks' and 'Sweets' groups, with a Nutri-Score of E and placed in NOVA 4, indicating an ultra-processed product. While it provides some fiber (about 3.7 g per 100 g) and hazelnut-derived nutrients, it is very high in sugar (about 53 g per 100 g) and fat, and contains milk, nuts and soy allergens together with several additives such as soy lecithin (E322), tocopherol-rich extract (E306) and ascorbyl palmitate (E304i). Consequently, the spread offers limited nutritional benefits and should be consumed sparingly, especially by individuals monitoring sugar intake or with specific food allergies.
