Most of the shit in cheap manufactured peanut butter is artificial shit.. Peanut factories like literally everything these days have had food poisoning outbreaks traced to their processing plants so it only makes since they'd turn to more artificial means to keep up with demands. More nutella, and artificial "peanut butter" Spreads would take advantage of that to me..
Just know when you buy some peanut butter, or even some humble oatmeal, and raisins if your one of the over dignified vegans that need a human centipede experierience in their life.. All processed foods no matter what the consistency is in the U.S., get approved by the FDA that allows certain amounts of bugs and excrement to be present in the shit. I mean I hate to say it's true.. but it is.. not all peanut butter brands use artificial sweeteners etc it's just the trend..
I guess you are looking at something like this is the only reason I say that...https://www.thedodo.com/ingrediant-could-be-deadly-dog-1449364385.html
