Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter, 40 oz — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter, 40 oz by Skippy DUMP — score 20/90.

Four ingredients, and one of them is a dealbreaker: hydrogenated vegetable oil. Peanut butter needs exactly peanuts, maybe salt — Skippy adds sugar and an industrially hardened oil so it never separates. Convenience bought with trans-fat chemistry.

Why this verdict

• Hydrogenated vegetable oil — hard rule, automatic DUMP; hydrogenation is the process that creates trans fats
• Added sugar in a product that should be one ingredient
• The 'no stir' convenience is exactly what the hydrogenated oil is buying
• The peanuts themselves are genuinely good food — everything added to them is the problem
• Natural-style peanut butters do the same job with peanuts and salt alone

Ingredients (4)

• roasted peanuts (safe) — The good part: protein, fiber, and mostly unsaturated fats.
• Sugar (moderate) — Commonly used sweetener but contributes empty calories.
• Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (cottonseed, soybean, rapeseed) (avoid) — Industrially hardened oil that keeps the jar smooth; the hydrogenation process is the source of trans fats, which have no safe intake level.
• Salt (moderate) — ~260mg sodium per packet — sweet AND salty is the palatability play.
