Product Insights
Nutella is a popular hazelnut-cocoa spread classified in the pnns_groups category Sugary snacks and commonly used on bread, pancakes or as a dessert topping. It bears a Nutri-Score of E and falls into the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting its high levels of sugar (about 56 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (roughly 10.6 g per 100 g) together with modest fibre and hazelnut-derived nutrients, while also containing allergens such as milk, hazelnuts and soy. The formulation includes sustainably certified palm oil, lean cocoa and lecithin emulsifier, but the overall nutritional profile is poor, with high calories, sugar and saturated fat, making it unsuitable for low-sugar or low-fat diets.
