It is disappointing that the EFSA would release such a statement suggesting links to carcinogenic contaminants but then decline to actually use their influence to force change rather than hide behind the "futher study is needed" wall leaving consumers to draw thier own conclusions in the meantime.
Nutella is more sugar and fat than hazelnuts - its true content of hazelnuts is low at only 13 per cent. Don’t be fooled by the advertising. Here’s what I’ve unearthed about the ingredients. And it really took a bit of detective work.
Sugar
Sugar is the first ingredient and thus the main by weight of all the Nutella ingredients. In fact Nutella is 55 per cent sugar! That puts Nutella on a par with chocolate.2
Vegetable oil
The vegetable oil is palm oil, a semi-solid fat that’s needed to give Nutella its spreadable texture.

Let's be honest if you're buying Nutella for it's 'healthy fat from nuts' properties you're a bit of moron.
Turkey twizzlers were made from chicken assholes and turkey teeth but I loved them too (I will never forgive Jamie Oliver for getting rid of them)

Sugar & Palm Oil overload! No thanks...
Sugar.. is fine, but PALM OIL in nutella? That's taking it too far, Nutella once was a premium product-not anymore! , Palm Oil is known to cause artery blocks and heart problems if consumed too much and is banned in A LOT of European Countries ( Norway,Sweden and some others).
Only IN UK people are brainwashed that palm oil is bad because of the orangutans , however It's not the case- the real reason is the health problems it creates!
