CleanPlate reviewPeanut butter with 91% peanuts and little sugar
Dr. Oetker FunFoods Crunchy Peanut Butter is roasted peanuts (91%), sugar, a stabiliser (INS 471) and iodised salt. The jar is 750 g, about 23 servings of 32 g, and the panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it EA4. The E for nutrition is low: only 26.1 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by roasted peanuts and sugar), with additives that cost points: mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. The 4 for risk comes mainly from calories (631 kcal per 100 g) and saturated fat (10.2 g per 100 g).
