Ferrero confirms changes to Nutella recipe

Ferrero, manufacturer of Nutella, has revealed that it has changed the recipe for the much-loved hazelnut spread. The new recipe contains more sugar and powdered milk.

The share of skimmed milk in Nutella’s new recipe is 8.7%, up from 7.5%, while the sugar content has risen from a whopping 55.9% to 56.3%. The changes mean that two more expensive ingredients, cocoa and hazelnuts, have been reduced. Ferrero said the change was a measure to meet the tastes of consumers around the world.
