Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Spread — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Spread by Skippy TREAT — score 45/90.
A short, mostly clean list, but added sugar and palm oil are why it's legally a 'spread,' not peanut butter. Genuine protein and good fats, dragged down by sweetener and refined oil.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #2 ingredient, ahead of everything but peanuts
- Added palm oil (a refined oil) props up texture, no nutritional reason
- Real peanuts still deliver 7g protein and healthy fats per serving
- Short 4-ingredient list with no artificial additives or emulsifiers
Ingredients (4)
- roasted peanuts (safe) — Whole peanuts are the legitimate base: protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamin E.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- Palm Oil (moderate) — High in saturated fat; deep-frying medium that pushes fat and calories up.
- Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
