Nutella to launch first new flavour in 60-year history but there's a catch
The hazelnut spread is about to offer a never-before-seen flavour
When it comes to chocolate spread, many of us automatically think of Nutella. A beloved staple since 1964, it's a tried and tested spread that has won the hearts of many.
For the devoted fans amongst us, there's some delightful news, as there is about to be a brand new flavour, marking the first time it has offered something different in its 60-year history.
The spread's parent company, Ferrero, recently released a statement that the chocolate icon will be available in a peanut flavour that has been slated for a spring 2026 release.
However, there's a bit of a catch, as it is so far only set to go available within the USA. It's currently unclear if there will be plans to bring the peanut flavoured chocolate spread over to this side of the pond.
As reported by the Sun, news of the never-before-seen flavour, that combines Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread with the taste of roasted peanuts, was unveiled in a recent Ferrero press statement.
Michael Lindsey, president and chief business officer of Ferrero North America, said: "Developing Nutella and Ferrero Rocher products specifically for the North American market represents a defining moment in our company's history.
"These innovations will engage both loyal fans and new consumers, boosting our power brands and further solidifying our position as a category leader in North America."
The original Nutella is a spread made up of sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa solids and skimmed milk. In many countries, it is billed as a "hazelnut cream" and not a "chocolate cream" due to the lower quantity of cocoa in the recipe.
The firm branched out into a plant-based version with the Vegan Nutella that was first launched last year to mark its 60th anniversary.
Unlike the original spread, the vegan version boasts the same unique and creamy taste, but with chickpeas and rice making up as a substitute for the milk.
While a 350g jar is currently only available to buy from Sainsbury's for £4, it is reportedly set to be rolled out to more supermarkets next year following a surge in demand for plant-based products.

Mathieu Maggi, marketing director Nutella UK&I, Ferrero, said: "For over 60 years, millions of people around the world have been enjoying the unique taste of Nutella, and we are excited to welcome even more consumers to the brand with the launch of Nutella Plant-Based.
He further added that the vegan spread offered a "delicious new choice" with the same "unmistakable Nutella experience" for fans who wanted to try something different.
It's not the only news to excite chocolate lovers recently, as Tesco shoppers were recently sent hunting in stores for the new Kinder Krispy Chocolate Bars after they were spotted in stores.
The bars, which can be bought individually on their own for £1, or as part of a meal deal, boast Kinder's signature creamy milk and cocoa that has been layered with a crunchy cereal coating
Meanwhile, Mars Wrigley also recently announced the return of its White Maltesers, which would be returning to supermarkets nationwide in sharing and single formats after being discontinued in 2014.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk spat concerns Republicans as calls for truce increase
Republicans fear the potential consequences of a prolonged spat between the pair. Republicans fearful about potential consequences of a prolonged feud between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are urging the pair to call a truce. At a minimum, the explosion of animosity between the two powerful men could complicate the path forward for Republicans' massive tax and border spending legislation that has been promoted by Mr Trump but criticised by Mr Musk. 'I hope it doesn't distract us from getting the job done that we need to,' said representative Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington state. 'I think that it will boil over and they'll mend fences.' As of Friday afternoon, Mr Musk was holding his fire, posting about his various companies on social media rather than attacking the president. Mr Trump departed the White House for his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, without stopping to talk to reporters who shouted questions about his battle with Mr Musk. 'I hope that both of them come back together because when the two of them are working together, we'll get a lot more done for America than when they're at cross purposes,' senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, told Fox News host Sean Hannity. Senator Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah, sounded almost pained on social media as Mr Trump and Mr Musk volleyed insults at each other, sharing a photo composite of the two men and writing, 'But … I really like both of them.' 'Who else really wants @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump to reconcile?' Mr Lee posted, later adding: 'Repost if you agree that the world is a better place with the Trump-Musk bromance fully intact.' So far, the feud between Mr Trump and Mr Musk is probably best described as a moving target, with plenty of opportunities for escalation or detente. One person familiar with the president's thinking said Mr Musk wants to speak with Mr Trump, but that the president does not want to do it – or at least do it on Friday. In a series of conversations with television news presenters on Friday morning, Mr Trump showed no interest in burying the hatchet. Asked on ABC News about reports of a potential call between him and Mr Musk, the president responded: 'You mean the man who has lost his mind?' Mr Trump added in the ABC interview that he was 'not particularly' interested in talking to Mr Musk at the moment. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Still, others remained hopeful that it all would blow over. 'I grew up playing hockey and there wasn't a single day that we played hockey or basketball or football or baseball, whatever we were playing, where we didn't fight. And then we'd fight, then we'd become friends again,' Mr Hannity said on his show on Thursday night. Acknowledging that it 'got personal very quick,' Mr Hannity nonetheless added that the rift was 'just a major policy difference'. House of Representatives speaker Mike Johnson projected confidence that the dispute would not affect prospects for the tax and border bill. 'Members are not shaken at all,' the Republican said. 'We're going to pass this legislation on our deadline.' He added that he hopes Mr Musk and Mr Trump reconcile, saying 'I believe in redemption' and 'it's good for the party and the country if all that's worked out.' But he also had something of a warning for the billionaire entrepreneur. 'I'll tell you what, do not doubt and do not second-guess and don't ever challenge the president of the United States, Donald Trump,' Mr Johnson said. 'He is the leader of the party. He's the most consequential political figure of this generation and probably the modern era.'

Firm at centre of NHS corruption scandal moves business to new company as directors jailed
Four men were jailed for a total of 29 years following a major investigation into the award of lucrative NHS contracts to Ayrshire-based telecommunications firm, Oricom. The firm at the centre of a £6m NHS corruption scandal is set to move its business to a new company linked to its jailed directors. Four men found guilty following a major investigation into the award of lucrative NHS contracts to an Ayrshire-based telecommunications firm were jailed for a total of 29 years on Thursday. Oricom directors Adam Sharoudi, 41, and Gavin Brown, 48, secured major deals with the illegal help of NHS telecoms chiefs Alan Hush, 68, and 60 year-old Gavin Cox. The probe was first revealed by the Daily Record after an NHS counter fraud team swooped on Oricom's offices in Irvine in 2015. Now a letter to customers from a current Oricom boss has revealed the service is to be managed by a company called Freestyle Communications Limited. Service Delivery Director David Ross said the change, set to take place from June 19, was 'part of a long-term plan to improve how we deliver your service'. Convicted directors Brown and Sharoudi were named on Companies House as having 'significant control' of Freestyle in May 2023, but filed a cessation in August last year. Prosecutors proved, during a mammoth three-month trial, that contracts for the supply and maintenance of telecoms equipment by Oricom broke rules on financial wrongdoing in the tendering process. Hush was jailed for eight years after being found guilty of nine charges. Cox was locked up for six years for the two jurors convicted him of. Sharoudi was also handed an eight year term having been convicted of seven charges. Brown was jailed for seven years for a total of six. Lord Arthurson said: "The reach and character of the corruption and, in particular, the corrupt relationship engaged by all of you was on a grand scale.' Hush was the telecommunications manager at NHS Lothian and then NHS Scotland video conferencing manager. Cox held the post of head of IT and infrastructure at NHS Lanarkshire. The pair abused their powers as 'public servants' to push deals through. One contract alone was worth £3.1m. In return, Hush got £18,231 of cash bungs and gifts, Cox a total of more than £70,000. All four men had denied the charges, spanning between 2010 and 2015, included bribery, corruption, fraud, theft as well as others under the Proceeds of Crime Act. In Oricom's letter to customers, Ross said the firm was 'moving to a dedicated telecoms management company focused solely on service delivery and support'. He said: 'Your contract terms, pricing, and service all remain unchanged. You'll continue to receive uninterrupted service. You'll still have access to the same support team under the new structure.

By moving your account to Freestyle Communications, we're simplifying operations and placing service management in the hands of a team 100% focused on telecoms. 'Freestyle Communications is part of the same group and is fully regulated by Ofcom.' Current directors of Freestyle are named as Ross, Stephanie Brown and Simon Agnew. Brown and Sharoudi resigned as directors of Oricom earlier this month, following their convictions at the High Court in Glasgow. They have also been banned from being a company director for the next 10 years and will face proceeds of crime proceedings. Over 250 witnesses were also interviewed and tens of thousands of text messages and emails reviewed as part of the probe. Gordon Young, Head of NHS Scotland Counter Fraud Services it was a 'landmark conviction' of 'individuals who sought to exploit the NHS for personal gain'. We approached Oricom for comment.

Holidaymakers warned of possible strike action at Glasgow Airport this summer
Hundreds of workers from different companies based at the airport could walk out next month. Scots holidaymakers have been warned of disruption from possible strike action at Glasgow Airport over the summer as more than 800 workers from five different companies are involved in pay disputes. Unite the union said on Saturday, June 7 that if the disputes are not successfully resolved in the coming days, it will move towards voting on industrial action within two weeks, which could "ground planes and passengers". Staff from Glasgow Airport Ltd, ICTS Central Search, Swissport, Menzies Aviation and Falck may be set for walkouts, which could take place from next month, according to Unite industrial officer Pat McIlvogue. Mr McIlvogue said: "Unite is in dispute with companies at Glasgow Airport which could ultimately bring hundreds of workers out on strike. "The companies can resolve these disputes with Unite before that situation happens by addressing the legitimate concerns and pay aspirations of our members. "If the companies refuse to work with Unite to resolve these disputes, then we will have no option but to open strike ballots. This could mean strike action happening from the middle of July." The union said over 100 Swissport workers are locked in a dispute over rotas and work-life balance. It explained the company "is demanding that workers at extreme short notice have to work shifts at various times and for various durations, which is directly impacting on their personal lives". It added that some Swissport staff are " struggling with chronic fatigue". A further 250 ICTS Central Search workers, who deal with passengers directly in the security search area and process them for flights, are currently involved in a dispute over under-staffing, working conditions and pay.
