    As an AI language model, I do not have a specific language preference. However, I can provide a translation of the text in English:

    Regarding most people, the main classification of Nutella is easy: completely delicious. But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) poses a question that carries a little more weight for the beloved chocolate-hazelnut spread: is it a topping or a spread? This comes after parent company Ferrero requested that the FDA reclassify Nutella. In the US, it is currently classified as a dessert. Ferrero wants the chocolate spread (still not sure if its a topping) to be in the same category as jam and honey.

    So why the change? According to Ferrero, its all about portion sizes. The current Nutella nutrition label lists a serving as two tablespoons, which is around 200 calories. If Nutella were to be classified as a spread, the new label size would be one tablespoon, which would cut the listed calories in half. This, Ferrero says, could ultimately influence buyers, likely encouraging them to buy Nutella thanks to its low-calorie listing.

    Their argument is that the current topping classification is outdated, harking back several decades when we first met Nutella and used it as a topping on ice cream. Now were more likely to spread it on toast, they say. I agree that this is a popular way to enjoy Nutella, but were not so sure when they claim that most consumers dont eat more than one tablespoon of Nutella at once.

    All these hazelnut chocolate things raise another problem: have we really forgotten to serve sizes so much that well be more likely to buy food with the exact same number of calories as always just because the label suddenly says “100 calories” instead of “200 calories”? Should we all pay more attention to serving size? Yes, 100 calorie Nutella sounds better than 200 calorie Nutella – especially if you dont realize that the only reason the calories are lower is that you have to eat half the amount of Nutella. Well continue to spread and adapt as before and remember that overconsumption is not a good thing.
