Is Nutella a dessert or a jam?

[schumi]

Washington - The sugary hazelnut paste Nutella has been beloved the world over for 50 years. But is it a dessert or a jam?

The makers of the cocoa-flavoured spread say consumers in the United States are far more likely to spread it on toast than on ice cream, and they are pressuring US authorities to recognise this - a move that would halve the product's official serving size, and thus reduce the fat, sugar and calories appearing on the required label.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday began accepting public comments on the ways consumers use cocoa, cookie and coffee-flavoured nut butter spreads and how much they typically eat on a single occasion.

Nutella makers Ferrero in recent years have battled negative publicity due to the product's high sugar content. The company agreed to stop marketing the product as a health food following a 2012 class action lawsuit begun by the mother of a four-year-old in California.

Insane that governments have laws about this. Loopy laws lead to these sorts of bizarre contortions.
