French minister back-pedals on Nutella

“Ecology Minister Ségolène Royal offered ‘a thousand apologies’ on Wednesday after her comments kicked off a storm in Italy."



“On French TV, she had said: ‘For example, we have to stop eating Nutella because of its palm oil, which is seeing trees getting replaced and causing considerable damage.’"



“Italian company Ferrero churns out 365,000 tonnes of the spread each year, but a lot of it doesn't have to travel far before it's eaten.

“Europeans love it, with the French second only to the Germans as the world's top consumers of the paste.”
