NutellaFilter: I'm confused. Does Nutella contain trans fat or not?→[More:]
Their web page says that it doesn't, but the ingredient list contains "partially-hydrogenated peanut oil," which I though IS transfat. What the hell?

I'm with you: confused.

Hmmm...maybe the amount is so small that it doesn't count in the totals? It is toward the end of the ingredients list.

I have no idea, but I can't resist pointing out that nutella pretty much is edible energy.

I just got a nutella t-shirt in the mail.

I have no idea why.

I've never had Nutella although they push it pretty hard here in BC. What's it taste like?

It's yummylicious.

It'a a hazelnut chocolate paste thing. Good on toast, or fingers. Or Hugh.

Well, time to write Nutella an email and get to the bottom of this!

I do not care if I am eating the bones of my ancestors, you can have my Nutella when you pry it from my cold, dead, hazelnut and cocoa encrusted hands.

Yeah...I'm going to make an executive decision and choose to believe that the partially-hydrogenated peanut oil, is transfat free. Also, that the chocolate part has no calories.

These things are my story, and I'm sticking to them.

[scarlett o'hara voice] As Gawd is my witness, I will never go Nutella-less again! [/scarlett]
