What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the peanut butter aisle or organic/natural foods section and reach for it when making toast, packing lunches, or grabbing a quick snack on the go. It feels nostalgic and wholesome with a touch of indulgence from the honey and creamy texture. The smooth spreadability and added oils and sugars reflect modest commercial processing for shelf-stability and mouthfeel, pointing toward a processed product rather than an industrially engineered ultra-processed item.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole peanuts with added organic honey, cane sugar, and vegetable oils; absence of artificial emulsifiers or long additive lists suggests processing for texture and shelf-life rather than ultra-processed formulation. These characteristics fit NOVA group 3 (processed foods).
