Sundrop Peanut Butter Zero Crunchy
Published
Sundrop Peanut Butter Zero Crunchy is a crunchy peanut spread made almost entirely from roasted peanuts, with a little added oil. It scores BB4: nutrition and ingredients are solid on protein, fibre and a short list, but hydrogenated vegetable oil costs ingredient points, and risk is high on calories and saturated fat. Best as an occasional spoonful, not a daily staple.

What to know about Sundrop Peanut Butter Zero Crunchy
High protein and fibre, with hydrogenated oil added
Sundrop Peanut Butter Zero Crunchy is a crunchy peanut spread in a 924 g jar. The list is short: roasted peanuts (97.9%), hydrogenated vegetable oil and refined edible groundnut oil. The oils carry no declared percentage. It is aimed at people who want a protein-rich spread for toast, shakes and snacks.
What you get is real: 27 g protein, 11 g fibre and 5 g sugar per 100 g, with no added sugar and only 15 mg sodium. One 30 g serve has 190 kcal, 8.1 g protein and 3.3 g fibre. What it costs is energy and fat: 633 kcal and 11 g saturated fat per 100 g, about 3.3 g in a serve. Trans fat is declared at 0.1 g per 100 g.
The pack promises no added sugar or salt, no preservatives and 27% protein, and the numbers back all three. The hydrogenated vegetable oil is the weak point: with no partly or fully qualifier on the label, it is scored as partially hydrogenated oil until the maker confirms. CleanPlate scores it BB4.
Why Sundrop Peanut Butter Zero Crunchy scores BB4
Nutrition and ingredients are both a B: 27 g protein and 11 g fibre per 100 g, and a short list, held back by hydrogenated oil. Risk is a 4 because of 633 kcal and 11 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 27 g per 100 g and fibre is 11 g, so one 30 g serve gives 8.1 g protein and 3.3 g fibre. Most of the protein comes from the roasted peanuts, which are 97.9% of the jar.
Zinc (4 mg per 100 g) and copper (1 mg per 100 g) add a small bonus. Sugar is 5 g per 100 g, all naturally occurring, and sodium is only 15 mg.
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 B
The list is three items long and led by roasted peanuts at 97.9%, which is what the front promises. The two oils carry no declared percentage, which costs a small label point.
Hydrogenated vegetable oil has no partly or fully qualifier on the label, so it is scored as partially hydrogenated oil, which costs ingredient points. Trans fat is declared at 0.1 g per 100 g, but that figure is not accepted until the maker confirms the type of hydrogenation. No additives of concern are listed, and the pack makes no claim that the list contradicts.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the largest part of the risk number: 633 kcal per 100 g, 190 kcal in a 30 g serve. Saturated fat comes next at 11 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line, about 3.3 g per serve.
Sugar plays no part, as added sugar is 0 g, and sodium is just 15 mg per 100 g. Trans fat is a small addition at 0.1 g per 100 g. 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.
