Organic peanut butter with no hydrogenated oils but?
still has zero grams trans fats per serving?
OK, so I’m confused. My organic peanut butter boasts no hydrogenated oils, it contains organic palm oil. But still says zero grams trans fats per serving. Doesn’t that mean there is still trans fats in the product but not a gram worth in a serving size?
I’m confused and need some clarity on this. Can anybody help me understand what’s going on in my peanut butter?
I bought this one instead of natural because it was creamy with no mixing or stirring. I always make a mess! But I didn’t want to buy Jif….

One comment a "Organic peanut butter with no hydrogenated oils but?"
palm oil is one of the few vegetable oils that are saturated fats. (most animal fats are saturated). It is not a trans fat (not hydrogenated). Palm oil is not good for you by some standards although you can find some internet sources that tout the health benefits.
Natural peanut butter is a better choice (just peanuts with the peanut oil intact). The only reason to replace peanut oil with palm oil is because peanut oil can be sold at a much higher price than palm oil. So, they remove the peanut oil and replace it with palm. Mass market brands also remove the peanut oil and replace with other vegetable oils and sugar

I agree with you on the mess. I just wish somebody would create a creamier natural peanut butter.
That’s why palm oil works. The advantage of palm (saturated) or hydrogenated (trans fat) oils work in peanut butter is because they are a solid at room temperature. Peanut oil is liquid at room temperature and thus the separation.
