and it may shock you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Instead of the usual chocolate-hazelnut spread, this picture shows the famous jar filled with layers of the brand&#8217;s five main ingredients in their raw form: palm oil, cocoa, hazelnuts, skimmed milk powder and sugar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Each layer is said to accurately represent the proportion of each ingredient in a jar of Nutella &#8211; and  shockingly, half the jar is filled with white sugar.<\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-b1aa443f4ca66445\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"303\" width=\"634\" alt=\"This image claims to reveal exactly what goes into a jar of Nutella - and exactly how much\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><br \/>\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-b1aa443f4ca66445\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/01\/18\/09\/3C3B272F00000578-4131264-image-a-3_1484732871669.jpg\" height=\"303\" width=\"634\" alt=\"This image claims to reveal exactly what goes into a jar of Nutella - and exactly how much\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">This image claims to reveal exactly what goes into a jar of Nutella &#8211;

which means that each 400g jar contains a whopping 227.2g.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">That works out as 75 sugar cubes per jar &#8211; and makes up more than half of the jar&#8217;s weight.<\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-f7c965e45929f423\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Nutritional information reveals that each tablespoon of the spread contains 8.9g of sugar - which equates to 227.2g in a 400g jar\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><br \/>\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-f7c965e45929f423\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/01\/18\/09\/3C3B2A1600000578-4131264-image-a-2_1484732843973.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Nutritional information reveals that each tablespoon of the spread contains 8.9g of sugar - which equates to 227.2g in a 400g jar\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Nutritional information reveals that each tablespoon of the spread contains 8.9g of sugar &#8211; which equates to 227.2g in a 400g jar<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Among the other ingredients pictured in distinctive layers within the Nutella jar is the controversial palm oil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The chocolate spread relies on palm oil for its smooth texture and considerably long shelf life and Nutella\u00a0insists the spread would not be the same without the oil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Palm oil is also the cheapest oil on the market, and a switch in ingredients would cost Ferrero an extra $8-22 million a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Of the viral image, Nutella said in a statement: &#8216;We don\u2019t disclose the full proportions of the ingredients in Nutella as our recipe is unique and we wish to safeguard this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;The product\u2019s label provides simple and clear nutritional information per 15g portion, or two heaped teaspoons, as well as per 100g. The ingredients are also listed on the Nutella website.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Of the recent cancer scare, it added: &#8216;The health and safety of consumers is an absolute and first priority for Ferrero and we confirm that Ferrero products are safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) has analysed the presence of contaminants in a large number of products and oils stating that the presence of contaminants depends on the oils and fats used as well as the processes they are subjected to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;It is for this reason that Ferrero carefully selects quality raw materials and applies specific industrial processes that limit their presence to minimum levels, fully in line with the parameters defined by the EFSA. In addition, our auality teams constantly monitor such factors and guarantee the food safety of our products to the consumer.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p>            <!-- ad: http:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v2\/us\/femail\/food\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bigLinks sc-icns cleared\">\n<li class=\"facebook\">\n<p>                                    <span class=\"wai\">e-mail<\/span><br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"share\" id=\"shareLinkBottom\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"social-stats social-stats-pipe\" id=\"shareCountBottom\">\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"addCommentButton\" class=\"add-comment\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>            <!-- NOTE: WARNING: render-partial is a function --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels\">\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/01\/17\/11\/3C32B57C00000578-0-image-a-37_1484652806022.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Is this proof America is preparing for war with Russia?
