Mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbon contamination controversy
The European Food Safety Authority reported high levels of mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons in tested chocolate products and characterized the compounds as a potential carcinogenic concern. Ferrero disputed the finding's interpretation and stated that its products were below applicable maximum levels for human consumption. The supplied reference also notes that other common chocolate products showed similar or higher contamination, making this a broader industry food-safety issue rather than an incident documented as exclusive to Kinder Bueno.
