What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar on the peanut butter aisle or in a pantry — a quick grab for toast, sandwiches, or an on-the-go snack that evokes childhood lunches and cozy breakfasts. The label leans wholesome and nostalgic with "organic honey," but the added sugars and refined oils (including palm oil for stability) point to industrial formulation and a processed, shelf-stable texture typical of ultra-processed spreads.
