Palm oil is bad though.Sadly most things have it in.#WarOnPalmOil

The palm oil that Ferrero does use has been 100 per cent sustainable since January 2015, according to their website.
In 2012 Ferrero USA was targeted by a class action lawsuit for "misleadingly advertising Nutella as a healthy breakfast food". The lawsuit was settled for just over US$3 million.
