GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind peanut butter, crunchy, salted

Nutrition is rarely simply “good” or “bad”. Here is the balanced picture to help you decide what fits your diet.

THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

  • Provides 24.1 g protein and 8.0 g fibre per 100 g.
  • Provides vitamin E, vitamin B6, folate, thiamin and niacin.
  • Provides magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium.
  • The peanut pieces add texture while the spread remains practical for bread, porridge, sauces and baking.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 589 kcal and 49.9 g fat per 100 g, so large spoonfuls can add substantial energy quickly.
  • Contains 486 mg sodium, equivalent to about 1.215 g salt per 100 g; unsalted peanut butter is a lower-sodium alternative.
  • Peanut is a major food allergen and can cause life-threatening reactions; cross-contact must be taken seriously.
  • Embedded peanut pieces and spoonfuls of thick nut butter are choking hazards for infants and young children under CDC guidance.
  • Contains 8.41 g total sugars, but USDA does not report added sugars; commercial recipes vary, so the package label supersedes this profile.
