Why is Hazelnut paste with chocolate classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It combines refined sugar, vegetable oils, whey powder, cocoa powder and several processed components; the only listed additive is lecithin (E322) used as an emulsifier, which together with the multiple industrial steps places the product in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed group.

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

With 57 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic meal plans; its fat content is high but the salt is low, so it does not significantly impact blood pressure, but the overall calorie density can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess.

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

Yes; the product contains hazelnut paste (5 % of the formulation) and is labeled with nut allergens, so anyone allergic to hazelnuts or other tree nuts should avoid it.
