A hoax circulating on the internet claims that children’s chocolate  candy, Kinder Joy contains a wax coating which is also used in Styrofoam  containers that may cause cancer. This claim is misleading and  completely inaccurate. Many chocolate products, chewing gum. and cheese  contain food-grade paraffin wax to give them a shiny finish and help  them remain solid at room temperature but paraffin wax is not linked to cancer and Styrofoam containers do not contain wax.  There is no evidence to suggest the paraffin wax additive in  chocolate, including the wax allegedly in Kinder Joy chocolate causes  cancer. This wax is approved by the FDA as edible and has been used as an additive in various foods for decades. Paraffin wax is also non-digestible, which causes it to pass through the body without being broken down. It is unclear if Kinder Joy products contain this paraffin wax  additive, the listed ingredients for this chocolate treat include sugar,  skimmed milk powder, vegetable fats, hazelnuts, whole milk powder,  wheat flour, fat-reduced cocoa, semi-bitter chocolade, butter fat,  emulsifier lecithin, wheat starch, sunflower oil, dried protein,  vanillin, sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking agent), ammonium carbonat,  and salt. Wax is not listed as a Kinder Joy ingredient; However, wax may  not always be listed as an ingredient on product labels. There is also no credible evidence to support any links between wax consumption and cancer. As previously mentioned, this wax is approved by the Federal Drug Administration and other health organizations. If you see a post on your Facebook news feed that says “KINDER JOY  contains wax coating which is also used in Styrofoam containers” it is  likely that your friend has been duped by this hoax. This hoax is certainly false.<a href="http://phishlist.com/hoax-kinder-joy-contains-wax-coating-which-is-also-used-in-styrofoam-containers/" target="_blank">http://phishlist.com/hoax-kinder-joy-contains-wax-coating-which-is-also-used-in-styrofoam-containers/</a><a href="http://www.hoax-slayer.com/kinder-joy-wax-coating-cancer-warning-hoax.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.hoax-slayer.com/kinder-joy-wax-coating-cancer-warning-hoax.shtml</a></blockquote>
