This chocolate hazelnut spread is based on nuts (almonds, hazelnuts), seeds, cocoa mass, a traditional natural sweetener (agave syrup), basic culinary vegetable oils, and sea salt. It does not contain industrial sweeteners like glucose syrup or maltodextrin, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, gelling agents, or other cosmetic additives typical of ultra-processed foods.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
