Nougat Creme

Nougat creme is a sweet, creamy spread or filling, often made from sugar, vegetable fats, milk products, and ground nuts, most commonly hazelnuts. It is a processed food product rather than a single ingredient.

Manufacturers add nougat creme to products primarily for its sweet flavor and smooth texture. It is frequently used as a filling in cereals, pastries, chocolates, and other snack foods.

As a composite food product, nougat creme does not have a specific regulatory status like a food additive. Its health implications depend on its constituent ingredients, which typically include high amounts of added sugars and fats. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. They also advise keeping saturated fat intake under 10% of daily calories.
