'Stranger Things'' Noah Schnapp 'Shocked,' 'Bummed Out' After Discovering Nutella's Ingredients

Noah Schnapp was "shocked" upon learning what Nutella's main ingredient is.

The "Stranger Things" star is promoting TBH (To Be Honest), a vegan alternative to the beloved hazelnut cocoa spread. In an email to Page Six, the actor said he was "brutally bummed out" when he learned that Nutella's main ingredient is reportedly sugar.

"Hazelnuts aren't the main ingredient, and the amount of sugar alone made me realize I wasn't doing myself any favors," Schnapp, 18, said.

Schnapp also slammed the product's use of palm oil, telling Page Six that it "is responsible for mass deforestation," something he "couldn't support."

There are approximately 210 grams of sugar in a 13-ounce jar of Nutella, based on its nutrition label, which states that each two-tablespoon serving has 21 grams of sugar, according to Mic.com.

Registered dietitian Caroline Passarrello said that "by weight, Nutella is 55% sugar."

Additionally, palm oil is a "major driver of deforestation...destroying the habitats of already endangered species like the Orangutan, pygmy elephant and Sumatran rhino," according to WWF.

The New York-born actor is now encouraging people to swap Nutella with a healthier option.

He launched a crowdfunding campaign for TBH and asked others to invest as little as $50 through Republic, a fintech company he co-founded. According to its website, TBH has no palm oil, is 100% vegan, offers three times more protein and has 50% less sugar.

"I believe value-aligned investing is more important than focusing only on sustainability because I really believe we can vote with our dollars," Schnapp explained, noting that not all of Republic's investments are environmentally based, as he loves "social networks and gaming and other things."

Schnapp is studying at the University of Pennsylvania, the Wharton School of Business, majoring in entrepreneurship. He told Page Six that he can "definitely" see himself "launching a venture capital fund in the next year."

Schnapp, who plays Will Byers in "Stranger Things," also shared that he is proud of playing a gay character in the hit Netflix series.

"I've had a lot of fans express how much they can relate to Will and his journey, which makes me very happy to hear. It has made me so proud that we're writing this very real character that makes our viewers feel seen," he told the outlet.
