5/6

claims fully supported

“30% Protein”true

Nutrition panel confirms 30g protein per 100g, which is 30% by weight. At 625 kcal/100g, protein contributes approximately 19% of calories — still meaningfully high.

“Natural”true

Ingredient list is 100% roasted peanuts with no artificial additives, flavourings, preservatives, or emulsifiers, consistent with a 'natural' descriptor.

“Roasted Peanuts”true

Ingredient list explicitly states 'Roasted Peanuts 100%', fully confirmed.

“No Added Sugar”true

Label data records added sugar as 0g; the 3g sugar per 100g is naturally present in peanuts. No sugar aliases detected in the ingredient list.

“No Added Salt”true

Sodium is only 25mg per 100g (0.4% RDA per serving per label), consistent with naturally occurring peanut sodium. No salt appears in the ingredient list.

“Best Quality Peanuts from Junagadh”unverified

Junagadh origin is noted in raw label data, but no third-party quality certification, geographic-indication certificate, or independent sourcing verification is available in any of the four data sources.

03 — The fuller picture

Read the whole thing if a one-line verdict isn’t enough.

What’s in favour, and what’s working against it

In favour

Single ingredient: 100% roasted peanuts, no additives
Very high protein: 30g per 100g
No added sugar confirmed by ingredient list and label data
No added salt; sodium naturally low at 25mg per 100g
Good dietary fibre: 6g per 100g
Zero trans fat

Working against

High saturated fat: 12g per 100g
High calorie density: 625 kcal per 100g
Major allergen: roasted form heightens anaphylaxis risk
Aflatoxin contamination is an inherent peanut risk; no mycotoxin-testing certification visible
No FSSAI licence number visible on label or in product data

Who should approach with care

Nut Allergy — Roasted peanuts increase IgE-binding capacity of major allergens (Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3) up to 90-fold versus raw peanuts, making this product a potent trigger for anaphylaxis in sensitized individuals.

Infants — Introduction of peanut products to infants — particularly those with moderate-to-severe eczema or existing egg allergy — should follow physician-supervised protocols informed by LEAP-study guidance to manage sensitization risk.

Children — Peanut accounts for approximately 75% of severe allergic reactions in children per EFSA's 2014 allergen opinion; allergy screening before introduction is recommended.

Pregnancy — Pregnant women with a known peanut allergy or strong family history should consult a physician, as severe anaphylactic reactions pose risks to both the mother and fetus.

Liver Disease — Aflatoxin B1, an IARC Group 1 carcinogen that can contaminate peanuts, is hepatotoxic; individuals with pre-existing liver disease face elevated susceptibility and should verify mycotoxin compliance before consumption.

Ibs — Peanuts contain moderate FODMAPs and are high in fat, both of which can exacerbate gastrointestinal symptoms in IBS; portion control and individual tolerance assessment are advised.

The full analysis

This product is popular with fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers seeking a clean, additive-free peanut butter. With 30g of protein per 100g, 6g of dietary fibre, and zero added sugar or salt, the nutritional profile is genuinely strong for a plant-based spread. The single-ingredient formulation means no emulsifiers, stabilisers, or artificial flavourings — a rarity in the category. The most important caution is allergenicity: roasted peanuts carry a significantly higher IgE-binding risk than raw peanuts, making this product entirely off-limits for anyone with a peanut allergy. Aflatoxin contamination is a background risk inherent to peanuts, and the brand's claim of sourcing from Junagadh is unverified by third-party certification. Overall, this is a nutritionally excellent product for the non-allergic adult consumer who reads the label carefully.
