Funnily enough I emailed Tesco about this, they said the ingredients had not changed, just the wording!!

How weird. Cos I never noticed any changes to the ingredients , just the jar But it really doesn't taste the same. Unless its just a funny batch ??

The old pb was crunchy, this new one looks a lot smoother. It looks like the cheapo one I bought from another store, and that was horrible, so I will not buy it. I think they have changed to a plastic jar, and changed the ingredients, to buy it in at a lower price. They are trying to claw back every penny of lost profits.

I second making your own - I have a vitamix but a food processor will do the job. I keep it in the fridge and there is very little separation. I buy salted peanuts to use, but you could also buy plain and roast or salt them as required. Then you know exactly what you are eating

Vegetable oil may well be palm oil actually.

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil. However, when I think of vegetable oil, I think of a golden liquid, not something that looks like a block of magarine. Palm and coconut oil are semi-solid at room temperature.

That recipe for DIY peanut butter looks easy enough. I once made some satay sauce using roasted salted peanuts (have you tried getting unsalted ones?) and simply washed the salt off. Sunflower or vegetable oil ought to work to try it out, before you invest in a bottle of peanut oil.

I've been looking at yoootooob videos, I'm going to have a go at making peanut butter. Seems the way to go.

So in sainsbobs today I checked the ingredients of all the peanut butter, all contain palm oil no matter who made it


I know I don't like the value anymore.

So I bought a jar of marmite

Palm oil can be currently labelled as vegetable oil, but this practice will end at the end of this year with the new EU labelling rules.

I used to buy the value tesco peanut butter, but Im going to pay more for a peanut butter with no palm oil in it.
