Peanut butter, smooth, reduced fat

Reduced-fat smooth peanut butter is a processed peanut spread formulated with less total fat than standard peanut butter. It remains energy-dense and has its own carbohydrate, sugar and sodium profile, so reduced fat should not be read as nutritionally identical to standard products.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Reduced fat does not mean low calorie: this product still contains 520 kcal per 100 g.
  • Contains 35.6 g carbohydrate and 9.28 g total sugars per 100 g, more carbohydrate than the standard salted peanut-butter profiles in this database; added sugars are not reported.
  • Contains 540 mg sodium, equivalent to 1.35 g salt per 100 g; check the portion if limiting sodium.
  • Peanut is a major food allergen and can cause life-threatening reactions; cross-contact must be taken seriously.
  • Smooth texture does not remove choking risk: CDC advises against chunks or spoonfuls of nut butter for infants and young children.
