Nutella-Maker Ferrero Targeted in Anonymous European Union Antitrust Raids

Ferrero Group, the maker of the chocolate-hazelnut spread Nutella, confirmed it was the target of European Union antitrust raids this week.

The European Commission said on April 13 that it had carried out unannounced inspections at the premises in two different countries of a leading chocolate confectionery company, which it didn’t name, over concerns it may have breached the bloc’s cartel and abuse of dominance rules.
