For all of you that eat Natural Peanut butter, beware!!!!! When we were out on some errands I remembered that I needed some Natural Peanut Butter. The store we were at had the Skippy Natural on sale. So I bought some. Well last night I opened it. I should have known by the "no stirring needed" on the wrapper it was too good to be true. This stuff tastes amazing. Well I started to look at the label. ( I know i should have done this at the store). Guess What???? It is not Natural!!!!!! It contains Palm Oil, Sugar and Salt!!!!! So, I compared it to my wife's regular peanut butter. The only difference is no hydrogenated oil. I think I am going to write a letter to someone about this. To me, that is false advertisement. When I buy Smuckers or Meijer's Brand the ingredients simply say Peanuts.

This isn't false advertising. Palm Oil, Sugar, and Salt are all "natural" ingredients.
It's not that I don't feel for you - I think everyone here has had something that they thought was "cleaner" than it is and been wrong. It stinks, but it's within the rules.

Don't let this get under your skin - just don't buy Skippy anymore.

One has to otherwise stir peanut butter? My wife eats it by the bucket and I've never had to stir any when making a sandwich *confused*!

Damn I thought this thread was about Skippy Podar using steroids! Bummer! :lol:

dont worry about the added sugars, dont worry about the palm oil
this stuff is fine, period.

for 2 tbsp serving size, there is 2g more sugar than regular natural peanutbutter.
and palm oil is fine.

so... what are you warning us about?

I'd be happy that they took the worst of the bunch outta there. Palm Oil, Sugar & Salt seem like natural ingredients to me. Hydrogenated Oil?
No thanks!

I think it has something to do with when peanut butter sits for a while and you open it up and all that oil is just sitting there at the top...

I was just trying to let you know that what you think you are buying is not exactly what you are buying.

The stirring refers to the oil seperating in natural peanut butter. Keeping it cold helps reduce this.

You should be keeping it in the fridge after opening anyway - it should say 'refrigerate after opening' on the jar.

he's an attention whore!

oh... right... peanut butter.

;)

I tried that stuff, thought it tasted gross myself. It was a while ago so I don't remember anything more specific than that, but thumbs down. :(

I don't get what the deal is. You felt upset because you made an assumption based on a lack of understanding of food labeling terminology. "Natural" simply means that there are no ingredients produced by artificial means, which would include trans-fats (aka partially hydrogenated oils) as well as artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and so forth. Many natural peanut butters don't contain sugar and salt simply because they know many customers prefer it that way.

As for the stirring, any nutbutter will separate after a while, leaving a layer of oil on top. Most convential nutbutters will have an emulsifier added to prevent this. Natural products often don't, but the separation problem can be avoided simply by keeping it in the fridge.

I use Smuckers natural PB and it just has peanuts, salt. For some reason I've not been able to find Skippy anwhere around here.

store the jar upside down. :tu:

I only refridgerate pb that I make or else it turns to soup! :p
