Quick History of Nutella

Originally called Giandujot, the hazelnut and cocoa paste was developed in 1946. A few years later, the recipe was altered to transform Giandujot paste into a creamier and easier to spread topping.

In 1964, Ferrero improved the recipe once again and the official Nutella® was born.

Saturated Fat

Dietary Guidelines for Americans (published by the US Department of Health and Human Services) recommend limiting calories from saturated fat to less than 10% of total calories.

The 4 grams of saturated fat in one serving delivers approximately 35 calories, which is a 20% daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Saturated Fat is found in animal fats, baked goods, pizza, and vegetable shortening, among other food items. The FDA recommends choosing foods lower in saturated fat.

Sugars

There are 21 grams of total sugars, including 19 grams of added sugars.

In fact, sugar is listed as the first ingredient in Nutella, which is significant because regulations require that ingredients be listed in descending order of predominance by weight.

75 calories per serving are from added sugars
