What to know about Alpino Crunchy Peanut Butter
One ingredient, 30 g protein, and a lot of calories
Alpino Crunchy Peanut Butter is a 400 g jar of roasted peanuts, declared at 100%, with crunchy pieces left in. Nothing else is listed: no sugar, salt, oil or palm oil. It is bought by people who want a spreadable source of protein for toast, oats and smoothies.
Per 100 g it gives 30 g protein, 6 g fibre, 3 g total sugar (none added) and 25 mg sodium, at 625 kcal. The cost is energy and fat: 49 g total fat, of which 12 g is saturated. A 32 g serve (2 tablespoons, 12 per jar) works out to about 200 kcal and 9.6 g protein.
The pack says natural peanut butter, 30% protein and no palm oil, and the ingredient list backs all three. Its comparison with other brands is true-but-framed, as the list for other jars is not named. CleanPlate scores it CA4.
Why Alpino Crunchy Peanut Butter scores CA4
Nutrition is a C on 30 g protein and 6 g fibre, held back by no declared vitamins or minerals. Ingredients are an A for a single item, and risk is a 4 on 625 kcal and 12 g saturated fat.
Adequate nutrient density

- 30 g
- Fibre
- 6 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 625 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 30 g per 100 g and fibre is 6 g, from peanuts alone. In a 32 g serve that is 9.6 g protein and about 1.9 g fibre.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so the grade rests on protein and fibre. Energy of 625 kcal per 100 g keeps it from rising further.
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
One ingredient, roasted peanuts at 100%, so there are no additives, no sugar, no added oil and no hydrogenated fat. Nothing costs ingredient points.
The front-of-pack claims all match the list, so no label points are lost either.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Sodium

- Saturated fat
- 12 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the biggest driver: 625 kcal per 100 g, about 200 per serve. Saturated fat adds to it at 12 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line, or about 3.8 g per serve.
Sodium is 25 mg per 100 g and added sugar and trans fat are 0 g, so they add almost nothing.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Alpino Crunchy Peanut Butter?
Roasted peanuts are the only ingredient, so there is nothing to decode. What to watch is the energy and saturated fat, not any additive.
The ingredient list, read for you
The list is one line: roasted peanuts at 100%. The crunch comes from peanut pieces, and the protein, fibre and fat all come from the peanuts themselves. No sweetener, salt, stabiliser or oil is added.
