Nutella Plant-Based

Nutella Plant-Based is a vegan alternative to the classic Nutella spread, introduced by Ferrero to cater to consumers seeking plant-based options. The product is manufactured in Italy, specifically at Ferrero's Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi plant in the province of Avellino. The spread is made with ingredients such as sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts (13%), chickpeas, low-fat cocoa (7.4%), rice syrup powder, soy lecithins, salt, and flavorings. It is certified as vegan by the Vegetarian Society and is suitable for those who are lactose intolerant. However, it may contain traces of milk due to cross-contamination in the manufacturing facility. The product is also gluten-free. The primary owner of Nutella is Ferrero, an Italian company founded in 1946 by Pietro Ferrero. Ferrero is privately held and remains under the control of the Ferrero family, with Giovanni Ferrero serving as the executive chairman and CEO. The company is headquartered in Alba, Italy, and has a global presence with various subsidiaries worldwide.
