evidence: A new study suggests that Nutella may cause cancer. [...] The Nutella ingredient that could be the culprit in this case is palm oil, which the European Food Safety Authority says produces a higher potential carcinogenic contaminant compared to other vegetable oils. [...] They have not said that you should not use Nutella, but there will be more research done to determine how at risk of getting cancer you are if you eat the spread. Ferrero is outraged by the claims, claiming that the company would never compromise the product’s integrity by removing palm oil, which it believes to be healthy.
