THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

  • Provides 26.1 g protein and 5.7 g fibre per 100 g.
  • The USDA fortified reference provides 43.2 mg alpha-tocopherol vitamin E, 2.52 mg vitamin B6 and 313 micrograms total folate per 100 g.
  • Provides 17.5 mg iron, 370 mg magnesium and 316 mg phosphorus per 100 g in this fortified reference.
  • The peanut pieces provide a more textured alternative to smooth fortified peanut butter while retaining a spreadable format.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 593 kcal and 51.5 g fat per 100 g, so fortification does not make it low calorie or low fat.
  • Contains 366 mg sodium, equivalent to about 0.915 g salt per 100 g.
  • Contains 10.9 g total sugars per 100 g; the ingredient list is needed to determine the amount and type of added sweetener.
  • Fortification levels differ substantially between products, so these high micronutrient values must not be applied to ordinary peanut butter.
  • Peanut is a major food allergen and can cause severe reactions; package cross-contact information also matters.
  • Nut butter served in thick spoonfuls and nut pieces can be choking hazards for young children; follow age-appropriate preparation guidance.
