Pintola Choco Spread Peanut Butter — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Pintola Choco Spread Peanut Butter by Pintola TREAT — score 45/90.
Peanut-heavy chocolate spread that's genuinely protein-rich, but the 30% dark chocolate brings added sugar plus an emulsifier and a stabilizer, so it's an indulgence, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- 68% peanuts give real protein and fiber
- But 30% dark chocolate means sugar is a major ingredient
- Added sugar makes this a spreadable dessert, not a health food
- Emulsifier plus stabilizer keep it smooth but signal processing
Ingredients (6)
- Peanuts (68%) (safe) — Whole roasted peanuts: solid plant protein, fiber, and unsaturated fats. The best part of this jar.
- Sugar (from dark chocolate) (moderate) — The dark chocolate is 30% of the product and sugar is its first component, so this carries meaningful added sugar.
- Cocoa Solids (safe) — The actual chocolate, carrying some flavanol antioxidants. The one genuinely good part.
- Cocoa Butter (safe) — Natural fat from the cocoa bean; a clean ingredient.
- Emulsifier (INS 322, soy lecithin) (moderate) — Soy lecithin binds fat and cocoa for a smooth spread. Harmless in small amounts but a sign of processing.
- Stabilizer (INS 471, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) (moderate) — Added to stop oil separation and keep the texture creamy; an industrial fat additive, not something in whole peanuts.
