Ayupp Analysis- The above viral news claims that Kinderjoy contains wax and is banned in United States (US). It also says that it can cause cancer and the wax used in this is used for Styrofoam containers. Lets analyse this news one by one –

Does KinderJoy contains Wax – No, Though all the chocolate products contains paraffin wax but its allowed in certain quantity. Even the US food and Drug Adminitration (FDA), has approved “food-grade” paraffin. Many chocolate products do actually contain paraffin wax to give them a shiny finish and help them remain solid at room temperature. However, there is no evidence that this wax additive causes cancer. Wax has been used as an additive to various foods for decades and is considered non-toxic. And the claim that polystyrene containers have a wax coating is false. The warning is similar to another false warning that claims that instant noodles have a wax coating. Taking about Kinderjoy, it is not mentioned anywhere in its ingredients that it contains wax. So we trust this brand and rejet this rumour.

Kinder joy is banned in United States (US) -  No, Kinderjoy is not banned in USA. If you search try to buy kinderjoy using Amazon site then it allows you to buy it. Hence it is not banned in USA. On the contraty Kinder joy surprise is banned. In fact we received some significant information from Kinderjoy PR team in India. Thanks for inputs so that we are providing correct information to our readers.

Kinder Joy is manufactured by Ferrero India and is erroneously confused with Kinder Surprise which is actually banned in USA.

*** Import Alert 34-02 was created as the Agency was made aware of a product called "Kinder Surprise Eggs", and similar articles containing imbedded, non-nutritive objects, being offered for sale in the United States. The imbedded non-nutritive objects in these confectionary products may pose a public health risk as the consumer may unknowingly choke on the object. ***
