What it is
Peanut butter sauce is a creamy condiment made primarily from ground roasted peanuts, often blended with oil, sugar, and salt. Additional ingredients like sweeteners, emulsifiers, and flavorings may be added to achieve a desired texture and taste. It is typically produced by combining and processing these ingredients until smooth and homogenous.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add peanut butter sauce to provide a rich, nutty flavor and a smooth, creamy texture to foods. It is commonly used as a topping or swirl in ice cream and frozen yogurt, and can also be found in desserts, sauces, and some savory dishes.
Health notes
Peanut butter sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and healthy fats from peanuts. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated some of the common ingredients used in peanut butter sauce. Evidence regarding the health effects of added sugars and fats in processed foods is ongoing.
Allergen info
Peanut butter sauce is derived from peanuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless added ingredients contain it.
