The Saucy Spoon Creamy Peanut Butter
Published
The Saucy Spoon Creamy Peanut Butter is a smooth spread made almost entirely of roasted peanuts. It scores [L]EA4: nutrition is low because it is so dense in energy with little fibre, ingredients are short and clean but the no added sugar claim is hollow, and risk is high on calories and saturated fat. Best in small spoonfuls, not as a daily protein source.

What to know about The Saucy Spoon Creamy Peanut Butter
91% peanuts, but not the no-added-sugar spread it says
A 340 g jar of creamy peanut butter made from roasted peanuts (91%), sugar, edible vegetable fat (soybean oil) added to stop the oil separating, and iodized salt. It is sold to breakfast and snack eaters, and to anyone after a plant-based protein spread.
What you get is real: 25.75 g protein per 100 g, and 8.24 g in the 32 g serve the pack prints. What it costs is energy and fat. The spread has 680 kcal and 50.5 g fat per 100 g, with 10.05 g saturated fat, so one serve is 218 kcal. Fibre is only 2.55 g per 100 g, and sodium is 345 mg.
The name and the peanut claims are accurate. The front also says No Added Sugar, but sugar is on the ingredient list and the panel declares 6.5 g added sugar per 100 g, which is what sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]EA4.
Does The Saucy Spoon Creamy Peanut Butter live up to its claims?
The protein, peanut, trans fat and preservative claims hold, but No Added Sugar does not, because sugar is listed. The 20 g protein per serving figure conflicts with the 8.24 g on the panel.
- On the packMisleading
“No Added Sugar”
Sugar is listed as the second ingredient, and the panel declares 6.5 g added sugar per 100 g, 2.08 g per serve.

“26% Protein”
The panel shows 25.75 g protein per 100 g, which rounds to 26%.

“20G Protein Per Serving”
The back of the pack says 20 g, but the panel for the 32 g serve shows 8.24 g protein. The 20 g figure does not match.

“Trans Fat Free”
No hydrogenated fat is listed, and trans fat is declared as under 0.01 g per 100 g.

Why The Saucy Spoon Creamy Peanut Butter scores [L]EA4
Nutrition is an E on 680 kcal and 2.55 g fibre per 100 g, with no vitamins or minerals declared. Ingredients are an A on a short list, and risk is a 4, led by energy and 10.05 g saturated fat.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein

- Fibre

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 680 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 25.75 g per 100 g, but it comes from peanuts and counts at a reduced weight in the grade. Fibre is only 2.55 g per 100 g, and the panel declares no vitamins or minerals.
Energy of 680 kcal per 100 g, from 50.5 g fat, leaves little room for other credit. In one 32 g serve that is 8.24 g protein and 0.82 g fibre.
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: roasted peanuts (91%), sugar, soybean oil and iodized salt. No additive of concern is listed, and the vegetable fat is not described as hydrogenated, so the declared trans fat is accepted.
The grade holds up on that clean list. The No Added Sugar claim is the cost: sugar is listed, so the claim costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Added sugar
- 6.5 g
- Sodium
- 345 mg
- Saturated fat
- 10.1 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the largest part of the risk number at 680 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat is 10.05 g per 100 g, double the 5 g high line, and one serve has 3.22 g.
Sodium is 345 mg per 100 g, 110 mg per serve. Added sugar is 6.5 g per 100 g and adds the least of the parts, at 2.08 g per serve.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
