Hello dear Migros

I recently discovered a really great product: Nuttvia from Australia. The product is a healthier alternative to Nutella because it has 97% less sugar - and above all: it doesn't contain any palm oil. This is really great, as palm oil plantations are putting the livelihood of orangutans under severe pressure. The nut cream tastes incredibly delicious and is in no way inferior to the original (especially when you consider the difference in sugar!). Unfortunately, you can't (yet) buy Nuttvia in Switzerland, but I think there would be a lot of interest because of the many health-conscious people in Switzerland. I would be really happy about a product review - and if it would even end up on the shelves: awesome!

Hello @Fibi89

The product manager has asked for an assessment from the nutrition department. Here is the statement, which I would like to forward to you:

"Instead of sugar, the product contains the sugar substitutes maltitol and erythritol as well as the sweetener steviol glycosides (from stevia). This results in a sugar reduction of -97%, which can also be advertised - but with the addition "contains natural sugars". I can imagine that the taste of the product is not necessarily convincing. Another disadvantage is that sugar substitutes can lead to digestive problems (flatulence, diarrhea) depending on the amount and individual sensitivity, which is (must be) pointed out on the packaging: "May have a laxative effect if consumed in excess". From the customer's point of view, the reduction in sugar is certainly well received, at least at first glance; at second glance, the substitutes may be perceived as unnatural. This also applies to the sweetener steviol glycosides, which is often glorified due to its origin from the stevia plant, but whose alleged naturalness is also increasingly being criticized.

The product does not contain palm oil, which is also prominently stated. Such a claim is not permitted on Migros products, as we are a member of the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) and are therefore committed to sustainably produced palm oil. Advertising as palm oil-free does not fit in with this and will result in sanctions from the RSPO.

From a nutritional point of view, like Nutella, it is a high-fat and high-calorie luxury food that should be consumed in moderation. The lower amount of sugar does not make the product healthier, especially as the sugar substitutes also have disadvantages.

For these reasons, it is not possible to list the product in the near future."

We can offer you the following alternatives: Organic Nocciolata and OrganicNocciolata Without Milk (Vegan). Have you tried these two products?

Kind regards, Nicole
