I don't know where you're getting that idea about peanut butter and palm oil, it isn't true of the major US peanut butter brands https://www.peanutbutter.com/p

  Same major manufacturers, different SKUs, palm oil in the "natural" versions since hydrogenated vegetable oil is not exactly natural: https://www.peanutbutter.com/peanut-butter-spread/natural-creamy https://www.peanutbutter.com/peanut-butter-spread/natural-cr... https://www.jif.com/peanut-butter/natural/creamy https://www.jif.com/peanut-butter/natural/creamy Seems like a good time to remind people that if the oil is not domestic, it most likely comes in chemical tankers: https://www.agflow.com/commodity-trading-101/a-guide-to-chemical-tanker-types-for-palm-and-edible-oils/ https://www.agflow.com/commodity-trading-101/a-guide-to-chem... Your previous cargo might have been benzene or acrylonitrile.

  Plenty of Skippy's products have palm oil in them instead of peanut oil, and when I've looked, the "creamy" varieties of peanut butter tend to use palm oil for texture and stability. Store brands do the same thing in my experience.

    Adding a little for texture is very different than removing the peanut oil and replacing it with palm oil. If that were the case, the saturated fat/total fat ratio would be much higher and the palm oil wouldn't be the 3rd ingredient listed after sugar.
