Sorry to break your heart, but you may tell her goodbye .. Nutella between accusations and denials of causing cancer
Many of you have heard over the last couple of days what has happened Nutella charges of causing cancer, and we must have your opinions were divided between the ratification of the charges, or considering attack against Nutella. What is the truth of these accusations? And what the scientific evidence behind it? How were the views of both sides of this problem ..? That's what Stjdonh in our article, we'll make a Will Nutella?
Or is there a way out somewhere? To follow ..
Recently it came under the Italian confectionery company Ferrero Ferrero, producing and Chocolate "Nutella Nutella" famous, serious accusations about the Palm Oil palm oil used in the manufacture of Nutella chocolate hazelnut, as reports indicate the potential for causing cancer.
European Food Safety Authority has warned The European Food Safety Authority of the presence of contaminants in the oil resulting from the manufacturing processes, all of which carcinogens are Carcinogenic warns of consumption even in the range of moderate quantities, especially by children, as the Commission confirmed that all levels of consumption of the vehicles without an exception is considered unsafe for health.
They include compounds that warns them of the Commission EFSA report:
- Glycidyl fatty acid esters which is known for short as GE
- 3-monochloropropanediol or 3-MCPD
- 2-monochloropropanediol or 2-MCPD
- Esters and fatty Ohmadhma.
These compounds are formed during the manufacturing processes for food, especially when refining vegetable oils at temperatures in excess of 200 degrees Celsius. EFSA has found that the proportion of the presence of these contaminants in the palm oil was the highest compared to other oils and other fatty substances, that go together in the production of many of the pastry and baked in the margarine industry (vegetable butter).
Dr. Helle Knusten, Chairperson of the Commission of the European Commission and the concerned CONTAM assessment of the seriousness of these compounds, to a sufficient body of evidence that indicate toxicity Alglesidol Glycidol (has indicated is the result of the disintegration of the esters Alglesedel GE in the body) and its effect on the genes and cause cancer, which called for not GE to identify a safe level by the Commission for.
Enters palm oil in the installation of hundreds of famous branded food products, including chocolate Cadbury Cadbury's chocolate, and, the Clover, and Ben & Jerry's, but the Nutella remains the hardest hit, the company has sales fell 3.4% for fear of Almokhtmlh risks to health, prompting the company to launch a counter campaign in an attempt to reassure customers that their products are completely safe.
Ferrero, the company insists that the decision to keep palm oil Nutella - despite concerns about his safety - it is something related to the quality, not the cost. This oil is used as to give chocolate removable extensible texture finely unobtainable using other oils, which was confirmed by Vincenzo Tapella Purchasing Manager Ferrero company, saying that the use of a substitutes palm oil will give a level of specification product less, what would be a step backwards for the company ( you can find the report prepared by Reuters on the subject here).
The use of alternative oils, as oil sunflower Sunflowers or rapeseed Rapeseed, will increase the cost of making the product is estimated to my 8 to $ 22 million a year almost, since palm oil is the cheapest vegetable oil, and the cost per ton from about $ 800, compared b $ 845 for sunflower oil, and $ 920 for rapeseed oil. Ferrero company and employs about 185,000 tonnes of palm oil per year.
The World Health Organization has expressed the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation of the fears about GE, but did not Thblga far as to issue warnings about consumption. Which is consistent with the Food and Drug Administration U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which does not prohibit the use of palm oil in food.
What would result from the report?
EFSA European Commission does not have the ability to pass laws, but that the case is currently under review by the European Commission, will be the committee responsible for risk assessment report for the lifting of risk managers in the European Commission and the Member States at the end of this year. And it will use scientific advice provided by EFSA to consider how the potential risks to consumers and protect them from the management of exposure to these substances in food. The committee also recommended that further research to fill gaps in the data, and to improve knowledge about the toxicity of these substances, especially 2-MCPD.
In any case, the Ferrero is not the only European food company that continued use of palm oil after the EFSA report, there is also a Unilever Unilever Company and Nestle Nestle, which Tstkhaddmanh in many of their products, Kalshokola, snacks, and margarine. Both companies have said they Tracban issue of contaminants and are working closely with Mordehma to maintain low levels as much as possible of the GE. The Ferrero, has indicated to be used for operations manufacturing of low pressure with temperatures of less than 200 degrees Celsius during the oil refining process to remove the red color and the compounds smell the gathering, which would reduce GE's levels to some extent makes it difficult to detect the presence devices analytical , note that this process cost by saying more on 20% of the conventional refining manufacturing treatment, as well as the use of oil from renewable sources for the purpose of protecting the environment.
Ferrero remains the only European food company, which launched such a public campaign to defend the use of this oil in their products after the publication of EFSA's report, and confirmed that it carried out "hundreds of thousands of tests" for the detection of these pollutants in each of the user's palm oil products
