Peanut Butter Swirls

Peanut butter swirls are a confectionary topping made from peanut butter, sugar, oil, and sometimes other flavorings. They are typically produced by blending these ingredients into a smooth or slightly textured paste that can be easily swirled into other foods.

Manufacturers add peanut butter swirls to provide a rich peanut butter flavor and a creamy texture. They are most commonly found in ice cream and other frozen desserts, where they create pockets of intense peanut butter taste.

Peanut butter swirls are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are primarily a source of fat and sugar. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'peanut butter swirls' as a distinct ingredient are not readily available. At typical consumption levels in foods, they do not pose a health risk.
