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

It is made from refined sugar, roasted hazelnuts, sunflower oil, skimmed‑milk powder, cocoa powder, cocoa butter and a small amount of soy lecithin as an emulsifier; the only listed additive is the emulsifier (soy lecithin), which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 48 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and provides a large proportion of daily carbohydrate intake, making it unsuitable for most diabetic meal plans, while its low salt (0.12 g) is not a concern for hypertension but the high total fat may still impact heart health.

Is Nocciolata Crunchy suitable for vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

It is certified gluten‑free and organic, but it contains skimmed‑milk powder and soy, so it is not vegan; the high carbohydrate level (51 g sugar‑rich carbs) makes it inappropriate for strict keto diets, though it can be consumed by anyone without gluten restrictions who tolerates dairy and nuts.
