Does peanut butter often have added sugar? I’ve got Kirkland and Adam’s in my closet and am 99% sure neither lists that on the container.

You are correct - Kirkland’s has no added sugar. [0]

Despite the no added sugar, I always found it pretty sweet despite no added sugar. So I just looked it up and they use Valencia peanuts which apparently can taste sweeter.

Lately i've been avoiding all peanuts (and Kirkland's in my house) because of the saturated fat content, but i'm never sure if its that necessary.

Peanut butter and mayonnaise both often have added sugar in the United States. You can find brands without but they're less common.

It depends on the grocery store. Fancier “natural foods” stores in Seattle have very little peanut butter with sugar added

Any "shelf-stable" or "no-stir" peanut butter (aka Jif brand) will likely contain sweetener and also palm oil.

You don't have to make your own peanut butter but it tastes even better than a good peanut butter like Kirkland/Adams/etc. Some stores allow you to grind nuts on-site (almond/peanut) and charge you for the output.

Yes, at least in the USA it almost always has added sugar.

Not true, you can find unsalted organic peanut butter w/o any other ingredients at WholeFoods and elsewhere.

I only buy 100% natural peanut butter with only peanuts and some salt. Every grocery store I’ve ever been to carries this— even the budget stores.
