The facility in northern France churns out 600,000 jars of the popular hazelnut spread each day.
The world's supply of Nutella, the beloved sweet spread made of cocoa and hazelnut, may be at risk after workers have blockaded the entrance to a major factory in protest of low wages. The blockade has caused the threat of"raw materials" running low, causing a bit of chaos at the Villers-Écalles factory in northern France.
The facility churns out 25 percent of the world's Nutella but it doesn't look like management is budging to the striking workers' request of a 4.5 percent wage increase and €900 bonus. "The priority of the management of the factory is to protect those staff who are not striking and who are the majority and want to continue to work in good conditions," managers of Ferrero in France said in a statement.
Over 150 employees have been on strike since May 27 and no trucks"have gone in or out of the site since then," Fabrice Canchel of the Force Ouvrière union told the Guardian Monday.Since news broke about the beloved spread being at risk, many consumers took to Twitter to express their worry and plans to stockpile the chocolatey goodness.
