Nutella launches new flavour for the first time in 60 YEARS
Ferrero, which makes the spread, has revealed the new Peanut flavour will land on shelves from spring next year.
However, there is a catch - it will only be available in the USA.
The Sun has asked Ferrero if there are plans to bring the new Peanut Nutella spread to the UK and we will update this story when we've heard back.
News of the never-before-seen flavour, combining Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread with the taste of roasted peanuts, was unveiled in a recent Ferrero press statement.
Michael Lindsey, president and chief business officer of Ferrero North America, said: "Developing Nutella and Ferrero Rocher products specifically for the North American market represents a defining moment in our company's history.
"These innovations will engage both loyal fans and new consumers, boosting our power brands and further solidifying our position as a category leader in North America."
The launch of the new flavour is the first since 1964, beyond vegan Nutella alternatives.
Plant-Based Nutella launched in the UK last month, with shoppers able to buy a 350g jar for £4 from Sainsbury's.
It will be rolled out across other major UK supermarkets from next year.
The plant-based Nutella version combines the signature roasted hazelnut and cocoa flavours with chickpeas and rice syrup.
Mathieu Maggi, marketing director Nutella UK&I, Ferrero, said: "For over 60 years, millions of people around the world have been enjoying the unique taste of Nutella, and we are excited to welcome even more consumers to the brand with the launch of Nutella Plant-Based.

'We developed this innovation to provide a delicious new choice that delivers the unmistakable Nutella experience in a plant-based version, replacing milk with vegetal ingredients without compromising on quality and taste."
Upon the launch of the new vegan spread, Ferrero cited recent research suggesting 4.7% of UK adults - around 2.5million people - now follow a vegan diet.
The research it cited found a further 5.8% identify as vegetarian and 13% have a flexitarian diet.
Vanessa Brown, head of trademarks at the Vegetarian Society, said: 'We welcome Ferrero's efforts to meet the needs and expectations of the millions of consumers following plant-based and vegan diets."
NEW CHOCOLATE PRODUCTS
It comes as Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk flavour bar in the UK this month - Dairy Milk Iced Latte.
The new bar combines classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces.
Four limited edition bars have also been introduced, with packaging that changes based on the temperature.
The chocolate maker also recently teased the launch of a new Cadbury White Dipped Twirl bar.
Details on the new limited edition flavour are thin, although some smaller online retailers are selling it from 99p.
Lidl shoppers have been going wild for a new Dubai-style pistachio spread landing on shelves.
The Della Sante chocolate cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form.
The pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

Properly posh prom dresses your teen will love
For a teenager, what to wear to prom can feel like one of the most defining choices of the year — often unhelpfully coming just as exams have drained their mental energy. Sure, GCSEs and A-Levels are important, but it's hard to underplay the sheer joy of swanning out onto the dance floor in the perfect dress. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue In the past, the aim was to channel princess vibes in layers of tulle, ballerina-style skirts and sickly pink colours. However, intel from the teenage daughters of our trusted editors reveals things are a lot more slinky in 2025. Those winning the title of Best Dressed at any event this summer are likely to be wearing 1990s-inspired bias-cut slip dresses undoubtedly influenced by the Olsen twins' The Row and the quiet luxury trend. For mothers who cherish tradition, however, the Regency revival continues thanks to the influence of Bridgerton. Elegant gowns, sequin embellishments and voluminous ruffles courtesy of Zimmermann, Carolina Herrera and Emilia Wickstead will never look out of place at prom. Make no mistake, the pressure on prom is perpetual but to make things easier we've rounded up the best luxury prom dresses below — guaranteed to please even the most discerning of teens. Blame the Olsen twins and their quiet luxury brand The Row, but Gen Z are far more likely to be found in a bias-cut satin gown than a princess skirt this prom season. Luckily Galvan is the king of the minimalist silhouette. The brand's Sienna style is defined by a full length hemline, elegant high neckline and sophisticated scarf detail to the back, and available in light blue, burnt orange and bronze satin. £1,495, Galvan at Net-a-Porter Another bias cut beauty, Australian designer Rebecca Vallance's electric blue slip dress features an elegant cowl neck but is still school soirée appropriate thanks to the delicate lace underlay which acts like a little camisole beneath. £770, Rebecca Vallance at Net-a-Porter Norma Kamali's red satin gown turns to reveal a delicately draped, low cowl back. While it looks fiddly, a near invisible strap sits along the very top of the back keeping everything in place. The fishtail hemline adds beautiful movement too. £445, Norma Kamali at Net-a-Porter Although a less is more approach seems to be popular with teens of late, if you're going to wear a pearl-adorned dress at any time in your life it should really be to prom. Inspired by the La Peregrina pearl, worn by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Rebecca Vallance's gown features a studded halterneck bodice, fitted waist and full length skirt. £1,170, Rebecca Vallance at Harrods A black prom dress is a timeless choice – one your teen is unlikely to regret when they look back on photographs decades later. The perfect combination of cool and classic, this Giambattista Valli romantic dress is crafted from a weighty cotton poplin and has a tulle skirt underlay to create a flared shape. The floral-appliques all around the neckline and corset-style bodice are a pretty touch too. £1,914, Giambattista Valli at Mytheresa The epitome of prom, this Carolina Herrera strapless gown is perfect for those with a penchant for princess silhouettes. It has been carefully crafted using twenty layers of striking red tulle and features subtle crystal embellishments across the bodice. The drop waist and cropped hem keep things feeling modern. £3,969, Carolina Herrera at Mytheresa Costarellos knows how to make tulle cool. The Athens-based brand takes inspiration from ancient Greek mythology and culture to create its unique evening wear. Crafted from alternating tiers of French tulle and Chantilly lace, this Trissa style was made to be worn to a ball. £1,704, Costarellos at Mytheresa Royal-approved brand Emilia Wickstead's Abella embellished dress demonstrates the contemporary appeal of sequins in 2025. In the place of the standard sparkly stuff there's clever constructed floral appliques in clusters framing the neckline. Crafted from bonded satin this structured prom dress has a classic fit and flare shape that alludes to vintage 1950s styles while feeling distinctly modern £2,400, Emilia Wickstead at Mytheresa Featuring a corseted, shirred bodice and pretty flower petal details on the adjustable, tie-bow straps, Zimmermann's lilac dress is perfect for the hotter, summer months. While some prom dresses cut from satin tend to cling in the heat, this lightweight silk linen organza is both structured and flowing. £1,120, Zimmermann at Mytheresa This Valentino Garavani prom dress — which has been cut using a weighty silk gazar to emphasize its beautiful structure — looks like it's been taken straight from a scene in Bridgerton. Opt for a sleek updo to showcase the ruffled one-shoulder neckline. £2,402, Valentino Garavani at The Outnet The Times Luxury is brought to you by the award-winning team behind the Times Luxx magazine.

Supermarkets including Asda and Iceland axe popular Nando's item from shelves
SUPERMARKETS including Asda and Iceland have axed a popular Nando's items from shelves, Nando's Wrap Kits have now permanently disappeared from shelves. 1 The product came with four wraps and a range of spice and sauces, allowing customers to create their own meals inspired by the iconic chain. The product cost around £3.30 and was sold in Iceland, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's. Heartbroken fans took to social media to find out where the product had gone to. In a Reddit post, one shopper said: "I loved the medium wrap kits, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere, and for months now." The Sun reached out to Nando's who confirmed the product was axed last year. The group said "We often make changes to our Grocery range as we continue to develop new ways for fans to enjoy the Nando's flavour at home." It will come as a blow to fans who described it as the "perfect fake-away" option. Another shopper said the product was the "best thing to ever come to supermarkets". It is not the first time Nando's has shaken up its product offering both on supermarket shelves and at its restaurants. The Leafy Green Salad – a light, fresh option topped with PERi-PERi seeds – has been discontinued, with the chain confirming it was removed back in October. Nandos fans say as Aldi stocks a replica range - including their peri-peri fries for just £1.49 But the chain has added a number of new menu items for the summer. That includes The Big Cheese, a juicy new burger packed with grilled halloumi, red pepper and pineapple salsa, creamy avocado slices, and slathered in the new Churrasco PERinaise. It also launched new Halloumi Sticks and a brand new PERi-Honey dip The Halloumi Sticks & Dip with PERi-Honey will cost £4.95. The dip will also be available as an extra for £1.25. MORE DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS And Nando's is not the only chain switching up its product offerings. Dr Oetker has axed its popular Pizza Pollo from supermarket shelves. Meanwhile, Nestle has axed multi-packs of its Dark Chocolate Mint Kit Kats. The bars were previously on sale at Waitrose Sainsbury's and Tesco but are now showing as out of stock on the retailer's websites. Morrisons is the only major supermarket still selling the nine-pack - and has slashed the price from £2.20 to £1.50. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

Mexico temporarily hands CIBanco, Intercam trust businesses to development banks
MEXICO CITY, July 4 (Reuters) - Mexico will temporarily transfer the trust-handling businesses of two financial institutions sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged involvement in money laundering, the finance ministry said on Friday. Mexican development banks will temporarily take over the trust units of CIBanco and Intercam Banco, while the ministry looks for a permanent solution to transfer them over to private institutions, it said in a statement. The transfer will allow "the trusts to continue operating uninterrupted, for the benefit of their settlors, beneficiaries, and third parties involved," the ministry said. CIBanco and Intercam, as well as brokerage Vector Casa de Bolsa, which was also sanctioned, have denied wrongdoing. Mexico's government has also rebuffed the allegations from the U.S., though Mexico's banking regulator stepped in last week to manage the three institutions. The U.S. sanctions effectively cut the institutions off from the financial system there and could have a significant impact on Mexican banking, given the interconnectedness between lenders and close trade ties with the U.S., experts have said. Since the sanctions were announced, a number of local trusts, particularly real estate trusts, have dropped the firms as trustees.
