Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Products and Range
Trader Joe's sells multiple peanut butter varieties in its U.S. stores and on its website, including creamy, crunchy, and reduced-fat options, as well as organic and no-salt-added versions. The chain, owned by Aldi Nord, operates more than 560 stores across the United States as of the latest public store count, and peanut butter is a standard shelf item in most locations. Products are typically packaged in 16-ounce jars, with some sizes and limited-edition flavors released seasonally. Trader Joe's peanut butter is manufactured for the chain by established peanut butter producers under private-label agreements, and formulations are designed to meet Trader Joe's quality and ingredient standards.

Prices, Nutrition, and Ingredients
Trader Joe's peanut butter prices generally range from about $3.49 to $6.99 per 16-ounce jar, depending on the variety and any promotional discounts, with organic and specialty options typically at the higher end of the range. Nutrition data shows that standard creamy and crunchy versions contain around 190 calories per 2-tablespoon serving, with 16 grams of total fat, 7 grams of protein, and 3 grams of sugar, while reduced-fat versions adjust fat and calorie counts accordingly. Ingredient lists are typically short, featuring roasted peanuts, salt, and sometimes peanut oil or sugar, and Trader Joe's avoids hydrogenated oils and high-fructose corn syrup in its peanut butter line.
