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

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the wafer is made from refined sugar, palm fat, wheat flour and cocoa ingredients that are industrially processed, and the formulation includes added emulsifiers (E322 – soy lecithin) and a leavening agent (E500ii – sodium bicarbonate). These ingredients are typical of highly processed snack foods.

How does the high sugar content in Kägi fret classic affect people with diabetes or those trying to limit sugar intake?

With 38 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic diets and requiring careful portion control for anyone monitoring sugar, as it contributes a large share of the daily recommended added‑sugar limit.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in Kägi fret classic a concern for nut‑allergic consumers, and are the nuts sourced sustainably?

Yes, the product contains hazelnuts, which are listed among the allergens, so anyone with a nut allergy should avoid it; the hazelnuts are not specifically labelled as sustainable, although the overall product carries Rainforest Alliance and sustainable palm‑oil certifications for other ingredients.
