Claim: Nutella has the potential to cause cancer !! (Social Media Users, 2024-07-26)
Evidence (2017-10-08): New research by the European Food Standards Authority warns that a contaminant found in the palm oil used in Nutella could cause cancer - but Ferrero, the hazelnut and chocolate spread's creator, is doing everything it can to shut down the claims. The study found that the oil's edible form is carcinogenic (meaning it has the potential to cause cancer), and warned that even moderate consumption of the spread represented a risk to children. [...] But Ferrero insist their product is safe, and have launched an advertising campaign in an attempt to reassure customers that Nutella does not increase the risk of getting cancer - instead insisting they use palm oil to increase the product's quality.

Evidence (2017-01-12): Hold Up: This Ingredient In Nutella May Be Unsafe If you've ever eaten Nutella, you probably know it's packed with sugar and fat. You also probably don't care. That's because (in my very popular opinion) the chocolate hazelnut spread is an unparalleled slice of heaven, healthier options be damned. All that stops me from throwing a few jars into my cart each visit to the grocery store is that I know I could hardly resist downing a whole one in a single sitting, but I've never considered cutting it from my repertoire of treats entirely. Until, that is, claims emerged that Nutella (at least one ingredient) can allegedly cause cancer — sort of. After 90 seconds of intense soul-searching, I realized I'll probably indulge in some honey wheat braided pretzels submerged in globs of the stuff anyhow, as per personal custom. The assessment of the European Food and Safety Authority that one of Nutella's principle ingredients, palm oil, could generate a carcinogen if heated at a high enough temperature is reason enough to take notice of the warning. But since the troubling news went public in May, the Italian company that makes Nutella, Ferrero, has been on both the defensive and the offensive seeking to reassure customers via television commercials that the palm oil in its products is safe and necessary to maintain its deliciousness too, Reuters reported. Ferrero has not yet responded to Romper's request for comment.

Evidence (2021-10-29): Nutella can give you lots of things -- like happiness or high blood sugar -- but cancer isn't one of them, according to the company that makes the hazelnut spread. Italian confectionery giant Ferrero is pushing back against a European study that suggests chemicals from palm oil -- an ingredient in Nutella and thousands of other packaged foods -- might pose a cancer risk to humans. So far, no food safety authority has said people shouldn't eat foods containing palm oil, Nutella or otherwise.

Evidence (2017-01-12): Variations of the headline "Nutella may cause cancer" are going viral. As usual, there is almost no support for such hysteria. According to Reuters: [...] Translation: "At a dose of 10.2 mg/kg, glycidol caused abdominal membrane cancer in 25% of rats (i.e., T25). We divided that number by 25,000 to determine the safe level of consumption." Once again, adults consumed less than this, and children consumed more. And as with 3-MCPD, Nutella contains glycidol, but other foods contributed just as much if not more glycidol to the average person's diet (Table B.7). [...] This Nutella-cancer story is so ludicrous that it gives "fake news" a bad name.
Claim: Nutella has the potential to cause cancer !! (Social Media Users, 2024-07-26)
Evidence (2017-01-13): Ferrero is mounting an ad campaign countering claims that a key Nutella ingredient might be carcinogenic — by telling people the hazelnut spread would be less delicious if it were to make changes and eliminate a "potential health concern." About a fifth of Ferrero’s sales come from its wildly popular flagship product, so the company is hesitant to do anything that might change its taste. That includes caving to pressure to source less palm oil, an ingredient whose use also causes massive deforestation and has created years of headaches for Ferrero. [...] Ferrero’s ads explain Nutella is "safe" because it’s made using a special industrial process. It costs 20 percent more, but keeps everything "just below" 200 degrees and relies on low pressure to reduce contaminants to a level "so low that scientific instruments find it hard to trace" them.

Evidence (2024-07-31): Recently, people have become worried about the claim that Nutella, the popular chocolate-hazelnut spread, might cause cancer. This concern comes from the fact that Nutella contains refined palm oil. When palm oil is processed at high temperatures, it can create compounds that might cause cancer. Health authorities, like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), have reported the risks of these compounds. This has led to public debate and questions about the safety of eating products with refined palm oil. We recently discovered a claim circulating on social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, alleging that Nutella, the popular hazelnut spread, has the potential to cause cancer.

Evidence (2017-01-13): A controversy over palm oil threatens to cast a pall over Nutella, the delicious chocolate-hazelnut spread made by the Italian company Ferrero. Headlines like "Nutella Can Cause Cancer, Study Warns" have circulated across the internet this week, but is Ferrero really including an ingredient that might give consumers cancer? The study, released by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) last May, does not say that Nutella can cause cancer. What the study does say is that palm oil, an ingredient in Nutella, releases potentially carcinogenic chemicals when refined at high temperatures. Palm oil, derived from the fruit of palm trees, is used in plenty of food. When refined at around 200 degrees Celsius, the study says, palm oil releases a contaminant known as glycidyl fatty esters (GE) in higher levels than other vegetable oils. Previous studies have shown that GE can cause tumors in rats and mice, leading EFSA to characterize it as a "potential health risk" for children and anyone who consumes it in high amounts. [...] Nutella’s cancer risks may be overblown by the press, but there are still plenty of good reasons not to eat palm oil. Palm oil plantations have been linked to deforestation, air pollution, and illegal labor practices. Although Ferrero says it sources palm oil from sustainable plantations, it has still come under criticism from environmentalists. France’s ecology minister urged the public to "stop eating Nutella" in 2015, adding that it should be made with "other ingredients."

Evidence (2024-05-06): Nutella, the globally beloved hazelnut spread, has recently found itself at the center of a health controversy. Reports linking its key ingredient, palm oil, to potential cancer risks have sparked a widespread reaction, with stores around the world beginning to pull the product from their shelves. This concern originates from a 2016 study by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which pointed out that palm oil can form carcinogenic substances when subjected to high temperatures.

Evidence (2022-07-13): COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled on a military jet on Wednesday after angry protesters seized his home and office, and appointed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe as acting president while he is overseas. Wickremesinghe quickly declared a nationwide state of emergency to counter swelling protests over the country’s economic and political collapse. [...] In his new job, he left little doubt about the grave future ahead. "The next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives," he told Sri Lankans in early June, a few weeks before saying in Parliament that the country had hit rock bottom. "Our economy has completely collapsed," he said. [...] His reputation had already been sullied by his previous stint as prime minister, when he was in a difficult power-sharing arrangement with then-President Maithripala Sirisena. A communication breakdown between them was blamed for intelligence lapses that led to Easter Sunday suicide bombings of churches and hotels in 2019 that killed 290 people.
