Justin's Classic Peanut Butter Squeeze - 1.15oz / 10ct
Summary
This peanut butter contains only two ingredients: dry roasted peanuts and palm oil. The peanuts provide a good source of protein and healthy fats, while the palm oil, although stable for shelf life, is a highly processed ingredient with environmental concerns and high saturated fat content. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the short ingredient list.

Key ingredients 2
Dry Roasted PeanutsGood
Dry roasted peanuts are a minimally processed source of protein and healthy fats. They provide essential nutrients such as niacin, magnesium, and vitamin E. The roasting process enhances flavor without the need for added oils or sugars.
Risks
Peanuts can be a common allergen and may cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Benefits
Rich in protein and healthy fats, peanuts support muscle growth and heart health. They also contain antioxidants that may reduce inflammation.
Palm OilBad
Palm oil is a highly processed oil often criticized for its environmental impact and high saturated fat content. It is refined and bleached, which can strip away beneficial nutrients. While it provides a stable shelf life, it lacks the health benefits of other oils like olive or avocado.
Risks
High saturated fat content may contribute to heart disease if consumed in excess. Environmental concerns include deforestation and habitat destruction.
Benefits
Palm oil is a stable cooking oil that resists oxidation, making it useful for preserving food products.
