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

The bar combines refined ingredients such as sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder and hazelnuts with industrial additives like the emulsifier soy lecithin, artificial flavor ethyl vanillin, and raising agents (bicarbonate of sodium and ammonium), which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content of Albeni affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 41 g of sugars per 100 g, Albeni can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its 0.34 g of salt, though moderate, still contributes to daily sodium intake and may be problematic for hypertension.

Is the hazelnut in Albeni a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the bar lists hazelnuts (22 % of the product) as an ingredient, so it poses a risk for anyone allergic to tree nuts, and it also contains other allergens such as milk, soy, and wheat.
