DID YOU KNOW NUTELLA IS NOT A HEALTH FOOD? 

Well there was and it's been settled and if you purchased Nutella you can join the settlement.

You can claim up to 5 jars.

The suit has been settled for $3.05 million, $2.5 million of which will be divided among consumers.  Anyone who bought Nutella between Jan. 1, 2008 and Feb. 3, 2012, (or Aug. 1, 2009 and Jan. 23, 2012 in California) can file a claim.

Not that they'll get rich:  Consumers can receive up to $4 per jar of Nutella that they purchased during the specified time period, with a maximum allowance of $20 per household. But Ferrero also agreed to modify the Nutella label and certain marketing statements about the product, create new television ads and change their website.

So now consumers can take their winnings, buy more Nutella, and know for sure they're not eating tofu.

Of course I love Nutella because I make these.
