Skippy ingredients: what's banned overseas?

About Skippy

Skippy is the second best-selling peanut butter brand in the US, produced by Hormel Foods and sold at grocery chains and mass retailers nationwide. The brand offers creamy, natural, natural honey, reduced fat, and peanut butter & honey varieties. Skippy competes directly with Jif and Justin's in the peanut butter category.

Common concerns with Skippy products

Standard Skippy Creamy peanut butter contains fully hydrogenated vegetable oil and added sugar — the same processed formulation concerns as Jif. Natural Skippy omits the hydrogenated oils. Some Skippy flavored varieties contain artificial flavors. Skippy natural is a meaningfully cleaner alternative to the conventional version. Reduced fat Skippy replaces fat with corn syrup solids and modified corn starch, which is a significant additive trade-off.
