What You Should Know

You'll spot these Back to Nature Peanut Butter Creme Sandwich Cookies on the cookie/snack aisle or tucked into lunchbox displays — they feel like a nostalgic, childhood treat repackaged with a wholesome-sounding label. The soft sandwich texture, long shelf life, and creamy filling are produced using refined sugars, vegetable oils, syrup and additives (emulsifiers and flavors), which are characteristic signs of industrial ultra-processing.
