About This Settlement

Plaintiffs alleged Nutella advertising misleadingly portrayed the spread as nutritious despite high sugar and fat content. Consumers argued marketing campaigns targeted parents seeking healthier breakfast choices for children. Ferrero denied wrongdoing while agreeing to settle claims and revise advertising language. The case became widely discussed within broader debates surrounding food marketing practices.

Who's Eligible

Consumers who purchased Nutella products marketed as healthy breakfast options between 2008 and 2012 qualified for reimbursement. Eligible purchasers included households buying Nutella products throughout the United States. Claims without receipts qualified for smaller reimbursements while proof of purchase increased compensation amounts. Multiple purchases could qualify under settlement terms.

You may be eligible for $4–$20
