Did you know a woman sued Nutella and WON? 
She claimed Nutella falsely advertised the product as a healthy choice. She fed it to her child, believing in its healthy benefits.
I’m not fan of nutella or their advertising. I’ve seen the commercial in which a woman is spreading nutella on toast as an announcer says something to the effect, “get your children to eat breakfast again.”
Chocolate for breakfast?! I’m in. Uhm. Or not.
My thought was always of the sugar and oil in the product and I’d never consider it something to feed my children for breakfast let alone a healthy alternative to anything.
Nutella claims it’s made with nuts. And it is. They certainly have alluded to the fact that the product is healthy, but numerous companies are guilty of this type of advertising, and some are worse with their “lower sugar,” “fewer carbs,” “
higher protein” claims.
I’ve always considered food shopping like car shopping: Buyer Beware.
The company paid out 3 MILLION DOLLARS in the class action lawsuit.
It’s good that companies are held accountable, and more should be. But until that time, it really is buyer beware. READ LABELS!
We don’t need to deny ourselves something chocolate and nutty, we just need to make better choices. Here’s a few healthier versions of Nutella.
Let me know what you think!
