Why is Creme de noisettes grillees classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread is made from refined palm oil, sugar, hazelnuts, skimmed-milk powder, whey and a vanilla flavour, and it uses an emulsifier (lecithin, listed as E322) to stabilize the texture; these industrially refined ingredients and the use of an additive place it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high salt content in Creme de noisettes grillees affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 9.12 g of salt per 100 g, the spread far exceeds the recommended daily sodium intake and can raise blood pressure, making it unsuitable for people managing hypertension, while its low sugar level means it does not pose a direct glucose spike risk for diabetics, though the overall high sodium still warrants caution.

Is the palm oil in Creme de noisettes grillees a concern for sustainability?

Yes, the product contains palm oil, which is linked to deforestation and loss of habitat for threatened species; this ingredient contributed a negative adjustment in the EcoScore, indicating a notable environmental impact.
