Disano Crunchy Peanut Butter — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Disano Crunchy Peanut Butter by Disano OKAY — score 60/90.

Mostly real roasted peanuts with solid protein and healthy fats, but they've slipped in added sugar and an emulsifier you don't need.

Why this verdict

• 91% roasted peanuts — real protein, fiber and healthy fats
• Added sugar as the #2 ingredient, unnecessary in peanut butter
• Stabilizer INS471 is a refined emulsifier added for texture, not nutrition
• Short 4-ingredient list keeps it out of heavily-engineered territory

Ingredients (4)

• Roasted Peanuts (91%) (safe) — Whole legume, the bulk of the jar — good plant protein, fiber and mostly unsaturated fat.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
• Stabilizer (INS471) (moderate) — Mono- and diglycerides — a refined emulsifier added to keep the oil from separating; a texture crutch, not food.
• Iodised Salt (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance; iodine is beneficial.
