What to know about Swaadly Chocolate Crunchy Peanut Butter
A 70% peanut spread with chocolate and sugar added
Swaadly Chocolate Crunchy Peanut Butter is a 500 g jar of crunchy peanut spread. It is built from roasted peanuts (70%), dark chocolate paste, sugar, the emulsifier E471 and sea salt. It is bought by people who want a chocolate-flavoured spread for bread or smoothies that still has plenty of peanut in it.
Per 100 g it has 593 kcal, 22 g protein, 4 g fibre, 42 g fat and 15 g added sugar. One 36 g serve is 213 kcal, 8 g protein, about 5 g added sugar and 4 g saturated fat. Sodium is low at 140 mg per 100 g.
The pack leads with peanuts and the list is short, so the natural-ingredients line mostly reads true, although E471 is an additive. The PROTEIN 110g on the front is a whole-jar figure, not a serve. CleanPlate scores it DA4.
Why Swaadly Chocolate Crunchy Peanut Butter scores DA4
Nutrition is a D, as 593 kcal and 15 g added sugar per 100 g outweigh 22 g protein. Ingredients are an A, held back only by E471. Risk is a 4, driven by energy and 11 g saturated fat.

01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 22 g per 100 g and fibre is 4 g, mostly from the peanuts at 70%. One 36 g serve gives 8 g protein and 1 g fibre. Calcium is the only mineral declared, at 72 mg per 100 g.
Against that, the spread carries 593 kcal, 42 g fat and 15 g added sugar per 100 g. That energy and sugar load holds the nutrition grade at a D despite the protein.
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 five items: roasted peanuts (70%), dark chocolate paste, sugar, E471 and sea salt. Peanuts lead by a wide margin, and there are no flavours, colours, preservatives or hydrogenated fats.
The one additive is E471, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, which costs ingredient points. Its source is not stated. No label promise is hollow, so nothing else is deducted.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Trans fat

03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the biggest driver of the risk grade: 593 kcal per 100 g, or 213 kcal per 36 g serve. Saturated fat is next at 11 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line, and about 4 g per serve.
Added sugar is 15 g per 100 g, about 5 g per serve. Sodium is 140 mg per 100 g and trans fat is 0 g, so both add little.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Swaadly Chocolate Crunchy Peanut Butter?
Peanuts at 70% lead a five-item list, followed by dark chocolate paste and sugar. The sugar, the saturated fat and the unnamed-source emulsifier are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Roasted peanuts lead at 70%, so most of the jar is peanut, which supplies the protein, fat and crunch. Dark chocolate paste and sugar follow, with no percentage given for either, and they bring the chocolate taste and the added sugar. E471 is an emulsifier that helps keep the oil blended, and sea salt finishes the list.
