Skippy Peanut Butter Crunchy — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Skippy Peanut Butter Crunchy by Skippy DUMP — score 17/90.

Hydrogenated palm oil plus added sugar drag down what could have been clean peanut butter. The hardened oil is the dealbreaker.

Why this verdict

• Hydrogenated palm oil is an industrially hardened fat with no nutritional purpose
• Added sugar in a product that needs none
• Oil is processed specifically to override how real peanut butter naturally behaves
• NOVA group 4 ultra-processed despite the short ingredient list
