The Conversation
It’s pretty darn safe to say we love Nutella. We’ll take it however we can get it, from one-bite Nutella donuts to salted Nutella s’mores cake. We’ll even try Nutella pizza and Nutella burgers, proving without a doubt that it’s basically the best. That’s why it causes such grief when bad chocalety-spread-related news hits, like thieves making off with $30k worth of Nutella or the fact that now the choco-nutty treat has been linked to cancer. Folks are friggin’ devastated.

The sitch started when the European Food Safety Authority declared that foods containing palm oil could pose a cancer risk. You guessed it: Nutella contains palm oil. It’s not alone (and we’re assuming you’d have to eat a heck of a lot for it to cause any real negative health affects), but it’s the product that’s receiving the most attention since the revelation has some stores even threatening to ban it.
