Honey Almond Butter Jars — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Honey Almond Butter Jars by Justin's OKAY — score 60/90.

Almonds lead and the list is short, but this isn't just almonds and honey. Added palm oil does the 'no stir' work and honey powder adds sugar, which is why it lands short of a pure nut butter. Still a decent, mostly whole-food spread, just not the clean two-ingredient product the almond-butter halo suggests.

Why this verdict

• Dry-roasted almonds are the first ingredient, providing plant protein, vitamin E, and healthy fats
• Added palm oil is used as a stabilizer so the spread doesn't separate, enabling the 'no stir' selling point
• Honey powder adds sugar (and, per the full label, powdered cane sugar) on top of the almonds
• Palm oil brings saturated fat and contested sustainability even with RSPO membership
• Short four-ingredient list stays fairly clean, but the added oil and sugar keep it below a pure nut butter
