The spread in the picture, as per the label, contains 60% hazelnuts, 10% cocoa and the rest must be sugar (~30%), but the percentage isn’t mentioned explicitly.
Math aint my strong suit either.
But it clearly tastes way better and other products in the same category (piemont hazelnut spread) taste very similar.
Thus I don’t care enough to not buy it. It’s not healthy to eat anyway and is bought for taste dn enjoyment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

of 100g, 40g are carbohydrate of which 35g is sugar.
Aka 35%
It doesn’t math. You can’t have 105% of the spread in the tub.
The label clearly says 60% hazelnuts + 10% cocoa. So that’s already 70%. How do you squeeze in 35% of sugar in there?
Something is wrong with that label. I don’t trust anything it says anymore. But more likely I’m just dumb at math and nutrition.
Does cocoa or hazelnuts contain sugar naturally and that’s why it goes to 35%, meaning 5% of hazelnut or cocoa content is actually sugar.

Hazelnuts have about 4-5% sugar in them, so it maths out perfectly to 100% total with 30% added sugar.
