THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

  • Provides 25.7 g protein and 5.6 g fibre per 100 g.
  • The USDA fortified reference provides 43.2 mg alpha-tocopherol vitamin E, 2.23 mg vitamin B6 and 373 micrograms total folate per 100 g.
  • Provides 16.6 mg iron, 355 mg magnesium and 368 mg phosphorus per 100 g in this fortified reference.
  • Its smooth, energy-dense form can be practical when a compact food is needed and whole peanuts are difficult to chew.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 591 kcal and 50.8 g fat per 100 g, so fortification does not make it low calorie or low fat.
  • Contains 420 mg sodium, equivalent to about 1.050 g salt per 100 g.
  • Contains 10.5 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 can be a choking hazard for young children; follow age-appropriate preparation guidance.
