Is it true? Not really.
Poor weather conditions in Turkey, which produces 70% of the world’s hazelnuts, have meant that there is a shortage this year. Additionally, prices have increased by more than 60%.
Ferrero, the company that manufactures Ferrero Rocher and Nutella, is the world’s largest buyer of hazelnuts and purchases between 20-25% of the annual crop.
Contrary to today’s reporting, however, the company assured The Wall Street Journal that the shortage will not hinder production of Nutella or Ferrero Rocher, saying it is “accustomed to volatility in the raw-materials market”.
You know what that means?
FERRERO ROCHERS FOR EVERYONE.
NUTELLA SANDWICHES FOR BREAKFAST/LUNCH/DINNER.
Whoops!
