      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.

        Nuts and cocoa also contain sugars, which make up the 5%. Those are the nutritional values, which state the total content - there is already some sugar in the contents before the sugar is added.

        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)_/¯

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