Why is Hazelnoten - Noisettes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which ingredients drive that rating?

The NOVA 4 label reflects that the spread contains refined sugars, vegetable oils (rapeseed, sunflower, palm), emulsifiers such as sunflower lecithin, and added cocoa powder, all of which are industrially processed ingredients that define an ultra‑processed food.

How might the product’s 52 g of sugar per 100 g influence blood‑glucose control for people with diabetes or affect overall sugar intake?

With 52 g of sugar in each 100 g serving, the spread can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable as a regular food for people managing diabetes and contributing significantly to daily added‑sugar limits for any diet.

Is the hazelnut component a problem for individuals with nut allergies, and how is it listed on the label?

Yes, hazelnut is a known allergen; the ingredient list clearly flags hazelnut (13 %) and the product carries a nuts allergen warning, so anyone with a hazelnut or tree‑nut allergy should avoid it.
