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.
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.
Hm…my spread (in the picture) says 60% hazelnut and 35% sugar…

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