Synopsis
Thanks to its flagship products, Nutella and Kinder, Ferrero is a prosperous brand that, over three generations, has built a chocolate empire that is as popular with consumers as it is secretive.
But the scandals keep piling up. In 2022, in the run-up to Easter, dozens of children across Europe fell ill, sometimes seriously, after eating salmonella-contaminated Kinder. Did Ferrero turn a blind eye to the failings of its factory to protect its business?
The company is also accused of buying low-cost hazelnuts from Turkey, which are sometimes harvested by underage children in precarious conditions.
