natVia Hazelnut Spread

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

natVia Hazelnut Spread scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

natVia Hazelnut Spread lists 11 ingredients, starting with Maltitol, Vegetable Oil, Maltodextrin, Hazelnuts and Cocoa Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 natVia Hazelnut Spread scores worse than most nut & seed butters we have scored. A higher-scoring option in nut & seed butters is Teddie Smooth Old Fashioned All Natural Peanut Butter at 100/100.
