Why is Nocciolata classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It contains refined sugar, sunflower oil, hazelnut paste, skimmed‑milk powder, cocoa powder, cocoa butter and an emulsifier made from soy lecithin (E322), which are all ingredients that trigger the NOVA‑4 classification for ultra‑processed foods.

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

With about 42 g of added sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is generally unsuitable for a diabetic eating plan; the modest salt level (0.16 g) is not a major concern for hypertension, but the very high fat and calorie load can contribute to weight gain and related blood‑pressure issues if consumed in excess.

Is the hazelnut paste in Nocciolata a problem for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the product contains 17.6 % hazelnut paste and the label notes possible cross‑contamination with other tree nuts such as almonds, walnuts and pistachios, so anyone allergic to nuts should avoid it.
