A California mother filed this class-action lawsuit against the maker of Nutella, Ferrero USA, Inc., claiming that she was deceived into buying the spread while searching for "a healthy snack or breakfast alternative for her household." She claims that she only learned "through friends what ingredients where in Nutella," and "was shocked to learn" that it "was the next best thing to a candy bar."
She seeks an order preventing Ferrerro from marketing Nutella as "healthy," "balanced nutrition," and other similar advertising phrases.
