UNFOUNDED – 'Kinder Joy Contains Wax Coating That Can Cause Cancer' – Hoax-Slayer

Outline

Circulating warning claims that children’s chocolate treat, Kinder Joy contains a wax coating that can cause cancer. It further claims that Styrofoam (polystyrene) containers also have a wax coating.




Brief Analysis

The claims in the warning are misleading and inaccurate. 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.
