New Peter Pan Natural Peanut Butter

ConAgra Foods, Inc.recently announced a new line of natural peanut butter spreads from its Peter Pan(R) brand. The three no-stir varieties - Natural Creamy, Natural Crunchy and Natural Honey Roast Creamy - are made with 100 percent natural ingredients and contain no high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans fat or preservatives.

"Some natural peanut butters are perceived as being too expensive, difficult to stir, and having oily pooling on top," said Karl Sears, vice president and general manager, ConAgra Foods. "Peter Pan Natural peanut butter spreads were developed to directly address these consumer barriers by offering the brand's perfect blend of 'peanutty' taste at a great value. Priced the same as the original Peter Pan varieties, there's no need to stir and no pooling on top."

Seemingly untouched by the recession, the natural segment is driving growth in the peanut butter category. Natural peanut butter dollar sales increased 9.4 percent this year with dollar sales for the total peanut butter category growing at 2.1 percent.Currently, natural peanut butter accounts for 17 percent of all peanut butter sales.

"Peter Pan is already the fastest growing peanut butter brand with dollar sales increasing more than 6 percent this year," Sears said. "We expect even more sales momentum as more people begin to incorporate natural foods into their diets. With the launch of Peter Pan Natural, we're now able to meet the needs of every peanut butter lover."

My Take on the Product
This peanut butter was tasty! We ended up pulling out the jar (even though we had a different brand) to see how well it tasted, Rich and creamy as good peanut butter id., I will say that I was very impressed with the peanut butter and so were the the rest of my family. Diva J for one was really enjoying the product and she kept asking for more!One of the things that I really liked was being able to see that this peanut butter contains no high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans fat or preservatives.

If you like peanut butter and healthy, all natural snack, look no further than Peter Pan!

I agree with justsaying - I bought 4 jars because it of the name - the first jar had a lot of oil that I tried to stir in - it's still slimy - very disappointed too! And I am stuck with three jars of it - maybe donate to the food bank!

I don't know about the smooth varieties but I just tried the chunky natural Peter Pan peanut butter. Tastes amazing! Has good texture and no stirring needed. I'm a convert. And the price, you can't beat it.
