About Nutella

Near enough the same jar as the German one: 56.8 g of sugar per 100 g against 56.3 g there, sugar first on both ingredient lists. What differs is the portion the label names. Ferrero's American reference is 2 tbsp, 37 g; the German pack says 15 g. Identical spread, 21 g of sugar here against 8.4 g there — the scale is reading the label as much as the product.

Is that a lot of sugar?

Overall composition

Nutri-Score E

Computed by Open Food Facts using the published Nutri-Score algorithm. Not assigned or endorsed by the manufacturer.

Nutri-Score grades the whole nutritional composition per 100 — energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt against fibre, protein and fruit or vegetable content — on a scale from A to E. It is a European front-of-pack scheme. It rates a product, not a diet, and says nothing about how much of it you drink.

Concentration follows the UK Department of Health front-of-pack thresholds for total sugars. The serving reading follows the WHO orientation value for free sugars. Nutri-Score is reproduced from the source named above. All three are applied mechanically to the declared figures for the market shown. None of them is a judgement about the product, and none is medical or dietary advice — what a given amount of sugar means for you depends on your whole diet and circumstances.
