Nutella quietly changes its beloved recipe

Sorry, the old Nutella can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh ... because it's slightly different now.

Ferrero has quietly changed the recipe for its beloved hazelnut spread, a move that was first noticed by the Hamburg Consumer Protection Centre, a German consumer group.

According to a Facebook post from the group, Nutella's sugar content increased from 55.9 percent to 56.3 percent. The presence of skim milk powder (yum) increased from 7.5 percent to 8.7 percent -- likely sacrificing some cocoa in the process. The spread's fat content, however, decreased from 31.0 percent to 30.9 percent.

The result? A Nutella that's a little more sugary and a little bit lighter in hue.

For many Nutella fans, this was not good news. A surprising number of people were incensed that Ferrero dared mess with something so adored.

You know the old adage: if it ain't broke, don't add more milk powder to it!

Ferrero confirmed the tweaks in a statement on Tuesday. Per the Guardian, it maintained that "the quality ... and all other aspects of Nutella remain the same."

Goodbye, old Nutella. We'll miss eating entire jars of you over the course of a single weekend, then feeling terrible for a full 24 hours afterward. Rest in peace.
