Full Analysis

Ingredients (8)

Zucchero

aka Sugar

Listed first, so it is the largest ingredient by weight. Free sugars in high amounts are linked to dental problems and excess calorie intake. Rated red because of the quantity, not because it is an unusual ingredient.

Daily Intake — Sugar is the first ingredient. A 15g serving gives roughly 7g of sugars (about 8% of the 90g daily reference intake). A larger 30g portion gives about 16%.

HIGH RISK

Pasta di nocciole 18,5%

aka Hazelnut paste

Whole ground hazelnuts supply monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, fiber and minerals. An 18.5% content is relatively high for a hazelnut spread.

Daily Intake — Provides most of the product's fat, mostly unsaturated. This is also a tree-nut allergen.

SAFE

Olio di semi di girasole

aka Sunflower oil

A better choice than palm oil because it is lower in saturated fat, but it is a refined, omega-6-rich oil. It is fine in moderation, and the risk depends on overall diet.

Daily Intake — Adds calories (about 9 kcal/g). Contributes little saturated fat.

MODERATE

Latte scremato in polvere

aka Skimmed milk powder

Provides milk protein and calcium with almost no fat. It is a simple, minimally processed dairy ingredient.

Daily Intake — Contains milk (an allergen). Contains lactose, so it is not suitable for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance.

SAFE

Cacao magro in polvere 6,5%

aka Fat-reduced cocoa powder

Cocoa is a source of flavanols, magnesium and iron. At 6.5% it gives real chocolate flavor without much added fat.

Daily Intake — No specific intake concern at normal serving sizes. It contains a small amount of natural caffeine and theobromine.

SAFE

Burro di cacao

aka Cocoa butter

A natural fat from the cocoa bean that gives a smooth texture. Its main saturated fat, stearic acid, has a relatively neutral effect on cholesterol.

Daily Intake — Contributes some saturated fat, but only a modest amount per serving.

SAFE

Lecitina di soia

E322

aka Soy lecithin (emulsifier)

A widely used, well-studied emulsifier that keeps the oil and solids from separating. It is considered safe by EFSA. Some people prefer to avoid it for soy sensitivity or because of GMO concerns, but nothing here suggests an issue.

Daily Intake — Used in very small amounts, so there is no meaningful intake concern. It is a soy allergen.

SAFE

Estratto di vaniglia

aka Vanilla extract

A natural flavoring made from vanilla beans, used in tiny amounts with no known safety concerns.

Daily Intake — None. It is used in trace amounts.

SAFE

Fun Fact

Hazelnuts are the star here: at 18.5%, the hazelnut content is higher than the roughly 13% found in some of the best-known mass-market hazelnut spreads.
