Justin’s Nut Butter

Rating: 2/5 Green Leaves

The Justin’s Nut Butter Coconut Almond Butter has earned a rating of 2 out of 5 green leaves on our website, which is dedicated to identifying cleaner food options. This rating reflects the product’s use of ingredients that are not aligned with our criteria for healthy and environmentally conscious choices.

This almond butter is not organic, which detracts from its potential to be a cleaner food product. It includes organic powdered sugar, which contributes to added sugars in the diet. The presence of organic cane sugar, despite being organic, is still a concern as it is an added sugar, and consuming added sugars is not recommended for a clean diet. Furthermore, the product contains palm oil, an ingredient that raises significant environmental and health concerns due to deforestation and high saturated fat content.

The product does have a positive aspect in that it uses non-GMO ingredients. However, the inclusion of palm oil, added sugars, and lack of organic certification overshadow this positive attribute. The product’s ingredients list reveals a need for improvement to meet the standards of a cleaner and more health-conscious food option.

The selection of dry roasted almonds and organic creamed coconut could be considered beneficial components, as they offer natural sources of nutrients. Nonetheless, the overall composition of the product does not meet the high standards we set for clean eating. Consumers seeking healthier alternatives would benefit from a product that eliminates harmful oils and added sugars, and ideally, one that is fully organic.

The Justin’s Nut Butter Coconut Almond Butter, with its current ingredient profile, falls short of our criteria for a clean and healthy food product. Its 2 out of 5 green leaves rating indicates there is considerable room for improvement to elevate its standing as a cleaner food choice.
