Why does Nocciolata receive a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients contribute most to this low rating?

The Nutri‑Score E is driven by its very high sugar content (53 g), high total fat (33 g) and elevated energy (≈568 kcal per 100 g), which outweigh the modest protein and fiber contributions.

How might the high sugar content of Nocciolata affect people managing diabetes or hypertension?

With about 53 g of sugar per 100 g, Nocciolata can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its negligible salt does not add hypertension risk but the overall caloric load can influence weight‑related blood pressure.

Is Nocciolata suitable for strict vegan and gluten‑free diets, and are there any hidden allergens to consider?

Yes, the product is certified vegan and gluten‑free, but it contains multiple tree nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, pistachios), so it should be avoided by anyone with nut allergies.

Product Insights

Nocciolata is a vegan, gluten‑free chocolate‑hazelnut spread marketed as a sweet breakfast or snack product, classified in the PNNS groups "Sugary snacks" and "Sweets". It carries a Nutri‑Score of E (score 24) and falls into NOVA group 4, reflecting its ultra‑processed nature with added sugars (≈55 g per 100 g), high fat (33 g) and saturated fat (5.5 g), while providing modest protein (5.4 g) and dietary fiber (4.8 g). Although it is certified organic and free from gluten, the very high sugar content and elevated saturated fat make it a treat that should be consumed sparingly within a balanced diet.
