Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter

Barcode 0051500241639
2.5/5· Fair

Added sugars, hydrogenated oils and salt reduce score despite peanut protein and fats.

Safety note

Contains peanuts and soy. Avoid if allergic as it may cause severe allergic reactions. Consume in moderation due to calorie density and sodium content.

What's the verdict?

This ultra-processed peanut butter delivers protein and fats from peanuts but is compromised by added sugars, saturated fats from hydrogenated oils, emulsifiers, and sodium. Good for occasional use but not optimal for daily health-focused diets.

Ingredients

  • Roasted Peanuts (Base/Nut)Beneficial

    Excellent source of plant protein, monounsaturated fats, fiber, vitamin E and minerals; promotes heart health, satiety and stable blood sugar but is a top allergen risking anaphylaxis in sensitive people.

  • Sugar (Sweetener)Caution

    Provides sweetness but adds empty calories with high glycemic impact, raising risks for weight gain, insulin resistance, diabetes and dental issues when consumed regularly.

  • Molasses (Flavoring/Sweetener)Caution

    Contributes minor minerals like iron but functions mainly as added sugar, potentially affecting blood glucose, energy crashes and contributing to metabolic concerns in excess.

  • Fully Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil (Stabilizer)Caution

    Prevents oil separation for better texture; high in saturated fats that may increase LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risks despite being trans-fat free.

  • Fully Hydrogenated Soybean Oil (Stabilizer)Caution

    Improves spreadability and shelf life; adds to saturated fat load linked to heart disease risk; soy base may trigger reactions in those with soy allergies.

  • Mono and Diglycerides (Emulsifier)Caution

    Maintains uniform consistency; FDA-approved but may derive from hydrogenated sources with some debate on digestive effects or trace trans fat presence over long-term use.

  • Salt (Seasoning)Caution

    Boosts flavor but elevates sodium levels, which can raise blood pressure and cardiovascular strain especially for those with hypertension or high-sodium diets.
