Have you heard about this lawsuit against Nutella? No? Then you should check it out here. I get a lot of news from Huff Post because it tends more toward my personal political leanings but they still have good news. This lawsuit is about misleading nutritional claims and is valid in California and then the rest of the USA, too, for a certain time period only.
Read this information carefully to figure out if you can file a claim and how to do so. This is time-limited so check it out today. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to be able to see the documents you'll need to use.
I used the online form myself and filed for 4 jars, I may have bought 5 but I know for certain I bought 4 jars just in the last two years. If I need to provide receipts I'd rather not over estimate. The form didn't ask for receipts but who knows what they might ask for later.
Now that this information is in your hands, I want to know what you think about this issue involving Nutella.
Do you pay that much attention to the ingredients and nutritional information when you buy such a product?
Do you think that commercials are by and large truthful?

Sugar isn't unhealthy, our bodies need some sugar to function but we get so much of it in so many different forms that it can be too much especially if you have other health issues.
I think the problem was with implications in the ads that somehow having the hazelnuts made it healthier... I'm not sure. In my house, tree nuts means I'm the only one that can have it and I use it rarely.
I hope they aren't surprised that they are being sued. I love Nutella, but the idea that it is anything other than an indulgence is ridiculous.
Dark chocolate in it's pure form and higher cacao content can be healthy in moderation, you could melt it to spread on your bread if you wanted to do so, but yes if you look at the label and the ingredients you can see that Nutella is not a sit down and chow down food.
Everything in moderation.
Sorry for the rant but these kinds of lawsuits really get me amped up.
I don't know if it is the current ad we see on TV or another one. From the documents I could find it didn't link to any particular ad. You'd think after the suit came out, they'd change their marketing approach though.
If I was sued over an ad, I'd replace it just to remove the company from the association but that still doesn't invalidate a suit because that's based on events in the past.
