Emulsifier is recognized, but its vegan status has not been verified in the local ingredient taxonomy.
Unspecified flavourings may contain carriers or ingredients of animal origin.
Lecithin is usually plant-derived, but its source should be identified for a confident result.
Additional evidence
The source data identifies this product as vegetarian, which does not by itself confirm vegan status.
Limits in this record
- whey appears in structured source data but not in the parsed direct ingredient list, so it was not treated as confirmed.

How our indicator is calculated
When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product
Is this answer valid for every Nutella, Ferrero, Yum yum product?
No. This page covers Nutella, barcode 3017620422003. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.
What still needs to be confirmed?
The source of Emulsifier, flavourings, lecithin needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.
Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?
No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.
What if my label is different?
