How many times have we heard this slogan in ads in North America? But it is precisely the definitions of “nutritious” and “healthy” that the Ferrero (the company that makes Nutella) was taken to court by a woman in San Diego.
The lawyers of Athena Hohenberg – mother of a child of four years – have submitted papers this week in District Court of California in which it is claimed that the fact that Nutella is nutritious and healthy is not at all true.
The woman – says the complaint filed in court – said she was “shocked after learning from friends that Nutella is not healthy and nutritious, but rather the closest thing to a chocolate bar.”
“One case already removed several times in the past.” So Ferrero commented on the mother’s complaint against American Nutella. “Similar attacks – said the company – are trying to undermine the success of the world’s most famous cream always shown as an icon of the Italian way of life.
In September 2007, at the annual meeting of the authoritative American College of Nutrition in the United States has issued a positive scientific opinion on the use of a cream with hazelnut “and that” the positive view has been taken in other authoritative studies published in 2008 by The Journal of International Medical Research.
