      I don't understand why Amazon lets you buy 1x Reece's peanut butter cups (42g), but makes you buy over 1kg of peanut butter

  • Thanks OP, got some.

    This is nice, great taste and consistency.

    Good size bottle for herbs and spices. Label peels off easily.

  • OOS, :(

    Waiting patiently for Mayvers or Pics. Hasn't been half price for a while now and my stocks are gone :(

    • +4

      I like bega better than mayvers and pics probably most, but happy with any of the 3. The big 3.

      • Bega is more oily than Pics. I like both, Bega is growing on me now.

  • I wish they bring back Bega simply nuts dark roasted.

  • OOS

  • What's wrong with Aldi PB…

      It's in plastic jars , when they pour peanut butter into it it's actually really hot so it causes plastics to release chemicals into the peanut butter.
      Avoid at all cost if you care what's good for you

      • At what temperature do you think the peanut butter is put onto jars?
        At what temperature do you think these "chemicals" are released?

        Avoid at all cost if you care what's good for you

        There's definitely things in your post to avoid, but I don't think it's the peanut butter.

            @botchie: You might want to find more 'scientific' sources for making life decisions

            • @SBOB: Because plastic jars and hot things go together?
              I will trust my instincts on this one thx

              • @botchie:

                Because plastic jars and hot things go together?

                As I said before,
                At what temperature do you think the peanut butter is put onto jars? (Google will likely give you a number around 60c)
                At what temperature do you think these "chemicals" are released? (Based on the plastic type used in the containers in question.. Not a chance this is anywhere near 60c.)

                You can then make an informed decision.
                Without that info you're just following click bait articles on slow news days.

                  @SBOB: its not just that, plastics break down over time, leech into your food, its just common sense
                  would you drink from a bottle left in the car on a 30C day?

                  as a rule we should avoid plastic where we can, when you can get the same product for the same price, I dont see why you wouldn't chose glass

                    @botchie: No, because it’ll be hot water.

                    Do you happen to have any peer-reviewed sources for your peanut butter claims?

                  • @botchie: Don't disagree re plastics in general but a "lifestyle" influencer's (albeit one with some credibility) opinion is light years away from credible and useful scientific info on food grade plastics. Here's a list of foods containing tiny amounts of Antimony https://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/foodsbynutrientsearch.aspx…
                    Many have FAR higher concentrations despite not being sold in PET conatiners. If she's worried about kids having peanut butter out of plastic bottles than she should be highly wary of the other foods listed.

                    • @Igaf: Literally every colleague of mine eats their microwaved meal from plastic containers. The office kettle is plastic. Keep cups same. What am I missing here

                      • @Hasbulla: I was referring to plastics in general (microplastics in the environment are a huge and growing problem for example). There is plenty of info out there about the health risks associated with plastics and food. Generally, short use PET is pretty safe, other plastics containing BPA may leach chemicals, older PET etc containers break down with use and time so it may be advisable to replace them regularly. Here's one summary: https://www.center4research.org/plastic-wrap-plastic-food-co…

                        Much more research is needed, esp on microplastics. You may have seen the recent - limited - Italian study mentioned in the media about heart attacks, strokes etc and plastic in the body. Very early days, seems to be primarily corrolation based, but strong enough to ring early alarms. See here: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2309822

                        • @Igaf: I thought we were talking hot food in plastic vessels

                          • @Hasbulla: Here you go then
                            https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7927525
                            https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03088…

                            Both show that temperature can affect the migration of harmful/potentially harmful chemicals in PET containers, albeit usually in low concentrations. I'm sure if you search you'll find more on the topic of temperature and PET.

                            Keep in mind that other papers may produce different results and have different conclusions.

                          • @Hasbulla: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00431…
                            A paper which tried to analyse other papers. It may also be subject to review/criticism.

                            "Here, we surveyed toxicological studies on PET-bottled water and chemical compounds that may be present therein. Our literature review shows that contradictory results for PET-bottled water have been reported, and differences can be explained by the wide variety of analytical methods, bioassays and exposure conditions employed.

                            ……Although food-contact packaging is strictly regulated (EU, 2004, EU, 2011), the detection of contaminants released from plastic materials is controversial, particularly regarding estrogenic activity. As we have highlighted in this review, PET has also been incriminated.

                            • @Igaf: mate I'm not saying that I'm surprised.
                              I'm sure it can't be good for you.
                              I'm saying that everybody does it all day everyday.
                              Salt and pepper grinders are made of plastic, water pipes, drug blister containers, you name it…
                              You can't escape this.
                              I don't cook/eat in plastic myself.
                              Focusing on the peanut butter jar seems to be like even more than extreme
                              I don't understand why freaking out about the PB

                              • @Hasbulla: I agree. Possibly something to avoid with kids but even then there's no unequivocal proof of widespread health issues.

    • Zero aldi PB is aussie

  • Bought a smooth bottle to try months ago, still 90% full. Don't know how they did their taste tests but it's a big miss for me.

    • sprinkle on salt - makes a big difference if you are used to the Bega 'never oily, never dry' variety
