THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 570 kcal and 49.6 g fat per 100 g, so portion size substantially affects energy intake.
  • Contains 7.1 g saturated fat per 100 g even though most reported fat is unsaturated.
  • USDA does not report total sugar or vitamin E for this record; database zeroes in those fields are technical fallbacks, not measured zero values.
  • Peanut is a major food allergen and can cause severe reactions; avoid it completely when medically required and check cross-contact information.
  • Whole peanuts and pieces are choking hazards for young children; use an age-appropriate smooth or finely prepared form.
  • Raw peanuts are not interchangeable with roasted products and require appropriate commercial food handling and cool, dry storage; discard mouldy or rancid kernels.
