I love Trader Joe’s, and finding food allergy safe stuff for us. Since I had still had this Sunbutter jar open, I decided to do a side by side taste test to see if Sunbutter manufactures the TJ’s spread, and I’m pretty sure they do.
Trader Joe’s Sunflower Seed Spread: $4.99
Sunbutter Natural: $6.29 in Target
Both are 16oz.
Sunbutter announces that it is top 8 free.
TJ’s only highlights that it is peanut, tree nut, soy, gluten, and dairy free. I guess they assume people pretty much expect this to be egg, fish, and shellfish free.
Sunbutter Natural has sugar.
TJ’s is unsweetened, and is labeled refrigerate after opening.
Lids are identical. Production lot numbers look standard.
Side by side comparison. Jars have different designs. The sunbutter tastes slightly sweeter, but everything else is identical to me.
I’ll be getting the TJ’s version again when I run out of it.
