Why Alpino Chocolate Smooth Peanut Butter scores [L]CA4
Nutrition is a C on 26 g protein and 7 g fibre set against 591 kcal per 100 g. Ingredients are an A, held back by the emulsifier and a false zero sugar claim. Risk is a 4, driven by energy and saturated fat.
Adequate nutrient density

- Fibre
- 7 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 591 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 26 g per 100 g, about 18% of the calories, and fibre is 7 g. Most of the protein comes from the roasted peanuts, which make up 86% of the jar. In a 32 g serve that is about 8.3 g protein and 2.2 g fibre.
Fat and energy hold the grade at a C: 591 kcal and 47 g fat per 100 g. No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to it.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is short and led by roasted peanuts at 86%. The chocolate is natural cocoa, cocoa butter and brown sugar, and the only other items are salt and an emulsifier. No palm oil or hydrogenated fat is listed.
The emulsifier E471 costs ingredient points. The label also costs ingredient points for the side-panel comparison that says Zero Sugar while brown sugar is a listed ingredient, which is what sets the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 8.5 g
- Sodium
- 70 mg
- Saturated fat
- 11 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the largest part of the risk number: 591 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat comes next at 11 g per 100 g, about 3.5 g in a 32 g serve.
Added sugar of 8.5 g per 100 g adds a smaller share, and sodium at 70 mg per 100 g adds little. Together they land on a 4.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Alpino Chocolate Smooth Peanut Butter live up to its claims?
The 26% protein claim holds, and no palm oil is listed. The Zero Sugar comparison does not, because brown sugar is listed and 8.5 g added sugar is declared per 100 g.
- On the packMisleading
“Zero Sugar”
The side-panel comparison says Zero Sugar, but brown sugar is listed in the chocolate and the panel declares 8.5 g added sugar per 100 g.
- On the packHolds
“26% PROTEIN”
The panel shows 26 g protein per 100 g, so about 8.3 g in a 32 g serve.
- On the packHolds
“No Palm Oil”
No palm oil appears in the ingredient list, and no hydrogenated fat is listed. The fat comes from the peanuts and cocoa butter.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Made with 76% Roasted Peanuts”
The retailer page shows 76% roasted peanuts, the pack shows 86%. The pack's ingredient list was used.

“Organic Peanuts”
Organic is printed on the pack, but the ingredient list does not state an organic certification.
What's in Alpino Chocolate Smooth Peanut Butter?
Roasted peanuts lead at 86%, with chocolate, salt and one emulsifier after them. The emulsifier and the brown sugar in the chocolate are what to watch.
6 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research. 1 more entry looks like an additive we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Roasted peanuts lead at 86%, so this is mostly peanut paste. The chocolate (13%) is natural cocoa, cocoa butter and brown sugar, which gives the flavour and is the only source of added sugar. Salt seasons it and E471, a plant-based emulsifier, keeps the oil from separating.
The label numbers, read for you
Per 100 g the panel shows 591 kcal, 26 g protein, 7 g fibre and 47 g fat, with 11 g saturated fat and 0 g trans fat. In the 32 g serve (2 tablespoons) that is about 189 kcal, 8.3 g protein and 3.5 g saturated fat.
Added sugar is 8.5 g per 100 g, about 2.7 g per serve, so the spread is not sugar-free. Sodium is low at 70 mg per 100 g, about 22 mg per serve. No vitamins or minerals are declared.
Not in our additive research yet: Emulsifier (E471-100% Plant Base).
Ingredients to watch
- E471 Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acidsWorth watching
An emulsifier that keeps the peanut oil mixed in so the spread stays smooth and does not separate. It costs ingredient points.
What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
What to know about Alpino Chocolate Smooth Peanut Butter
Peanut butter sold as zero sugar, with brown sugar listed
Alpino Chocolate Smooth Peanut Butter is a 1 kg jar of roasted peanuts (86%) blended with chocolate (13%, made of natural cocoa, cocoa butter and brown sugar), plus salt and an emulsifier. It is bought by people who want a spread with real protein and a chocolate taste, for toast, smoothies and oats.
Per 100 g the jar gives 26 g protein, 7 g fibre and 591 kcal, with 47 g fat, of which 11 g is saturated. The pack's serve is 32 g (2 tablespoons), which is about 8.3 g protein and 189 kcal. Added sugar is 8.5 g per 100 g, all from the brown sugar in the chocolate.
The pack gets the protein right and the short ingredient list right, with no palm oil. It gets the side-panel comparison wrong: it says Zero Sugar while brown sugar is listed and added sugar is declared, and that sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CA4.
