What it is
Peanut butter flakes are made from dehydrated peanut butter. They are created by removing most of the oil and water from peanut butter and then processing the remaining solids into small flakes or pieces. This process concentrates the peanut flavor and makes them shelf-stable.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add peanut butter flakes to provide a concentrated peanut flavor and texture to foods. They are often used in ice cream, yogurt, baked goods, and snack mixes. Their flaky form allows for even distribution and a distinct peanut crunch.
Health notes
Peanut butter flakes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of protein and healthy fats, similar to regular peanut butter. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar peanut-derived ingredients. No significant health concerns are associated with their typical consumption in foods.
Allergen info
Peanut butter flakes are derived from peanuts, which are one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Consumers with peanut allergies should avoid this ingredient.
