Why is Crema spalmabile classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes refined sugar, vegetable oils, cocoa butter, milk powders and an emulsifier; the only listed additive is soy lecithin (E322) used to stabilize the spread.

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

With 54 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is unsuitable for diabetes management, while its low salt (0.18 g) does not pose a hypertension risk, but the overall high calorie density still requires careful portion control.

Is the soy lecithin used in this product a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes, soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and is declared as an allergen; individuals sensitive to soy should avoid this spread despite the small amount.
