Extra Crunchy Skippy peanut butter
Ingredients: Roasted peanuts, Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (Cotton Seed, Soybean and Rapeseed) Salt
I'm worried mainly about the "sugar" and what kind they use,
in general is the peanut butter vegan?

Yes peanut butter is vegan. So is sugar.

You should be more concerned about the partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. They are not good for you.
Seriously, though, many vegans are wary of refined sugars, as they are of all other refined foods.
Most natural food stores have a machine available that will allow you to grind peanuts into peanut butter youself. It's nothing but peanuts. Check it out.

Theres actually a debate about that between vegans some think bone-charred sugar is fine because yeah they use animal bones but it technically isn't part of the finished product, in general peanut butter is vegan.

Yeah,it might be refined through a bone char method.Go get some organic or all natural peanut butter.The kind where the oil is seperated from the actual peanut butter.

The vegan issue with sugar is that it might have been whitened using animal bone char. It's up to you to decide if you are comfortable with that. Get a jar of natural peanutbutter, sans sugar and partially hydrogenated veg oil. Trans fats bad...peanuts good.

Skippy now makes a stir-free natural peanut butter.

As an alternative you can just buy peanuts and put them in a food processor, or blender, and make your own peanut butter. A store in my home town, called WinCo has a peanut butter proccessor in the whole foods section.
Hope this helps

If it is produced by Sanitarium Health Food Company they can guarantee you that their products are all pure vegetarians foodstuff and they don't use harmful sugar subsitutes. Their prices are perhaps more expensive than other brands but they have been proven to be very strict in their quality control and have never been found to cheat or tell lies.

Sugar comes from a plant. So it is vegetarian. It is not healthy, because it is so high in calories, and low in nutritional value, but it is most definitely vegan.

Vegans avoid meat and meat derivatives, not sugar.
Yes, your PNB is indeed vegan.
