Veeba Peanut Butter (Creamy, 925g) — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Veeba Peanut Butter (Creamy, 925g) by veeba TREAT — score 43/90.
Mostly peanuts, but they sugared it and threw in an emulsifier — so it's a sweetened spread, not the clean nut butter the label implies.
Why this verdict
- Added sugar turns a healthy nut butter into a sweetened spread
- Emulsifier INS471 added purely for texture, not nutrition
- High in fat and calories — easy to overeat by the spoonful
- Still 91% peanuts, so the base is real food
Ingredients (4)
- Roasted Peanuts (91%) (safe) — Whole roasted peanuts, the dominant ingredient. Good plant protein, healthy unsaturated fats, and fiber.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- Emulsifier and Stabilizer (INS471) (moderate) — Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids — added for smooth texture and to stop oil separation, not for nutrition. A marker of processing.
- Iodised Salt (moderate) — Necessary for thyroid health, but overuse can contribute to hypertension.
