Ask a doctor on the topic of General medicine

Nutella is a popular chocolate-hazelnut spread that can be enjoyed on bread, pancakes, or toast.

Hello, I have a question. What happens if you have a teaspoon overflowing with Nutella in your mouth and three-quarters of it slides down? Can something happen? Thank you in advance.

Good evening,

I understand your question to be whether it can be harmful to swallow about three quarters of the Nutella.

The answer is: No, unless you are diabetic. Otherwise, it is similar to quickly eating a chocolate bar. And even if your concern is that the Nutella was swallowed without being chewed, there is no need to worry. Nutella quickly becomes liquid at body temperature and therefore passes through the esophagus without any issues.

Does this answer your question?
If not, please feel free to ask.

Best regards,
Dr. Schaaf
