Why is Ma Creme à tartiner aux noisettes et au cacao classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the product is made from refined sugars, blended vegetable oils, dairy powders and emulsifiers, all of which are industrially processed ingredients; the listed additives are E322 (soy lecithin), E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) and E476 (polyglycerol polyricinoleate).

How does the sugar and salt content of this spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With about 45 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes and is generally unsuitable for uncontrolled diabetes, while its salt level of 0.15 g per 100 g is lower than the average for the category but still contributes to total sodium intake, so it should be used sparingly by people monitoring blood pressure.

Based on its ingredients, is this spread suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free diets?

The product contains milk powder, whey and lactose, so it is not vegan; it also includes gluten traces and 56 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, making it unsuitable for gluten-free or keto diets; dairy and palm oil are generally permissible in halal diets, but the presence of non-halal certified ingredients means halal status cannot be confirmed, so it is not recommended for strict vegan, keto or gluten-free consumers.
