I looked up the natural Skippy product but couldn't find an ingredients list - although it does list sugars per serving at 3g as against Carb Options at less than 1. "Carb Options" ingredients are listed - it contains;

"INGREDIENTS: Roasted Peanuts, Peanut Oil, Soy Protein Concentrate, Salt, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (Rapeseed, Cottonseed, Soybean) To Prevent Separation, Minerals (Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Oxide, Iron Phosphate, Copper Sulfate), Vitamins (Niacinamide, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid), Sucralose (Splenda® Brand)."

- hardly a health food! (and yes they claim 3 net carbs for a tiny 31g (approx 1 ounce) serving.

The serving size brings up an important point of course - as they say;

"Does Skippy peanut butter contain trans fats?
By U.S. FDA definition, Skippy peanut butter is a trans-fat free food.

Most commercial peanut butters contain small amounts (typically less than 2%) of a partially hydrogenated fat, which prevents oil separation by helping the peanut butter "set up" a fat structure. This partially hydrogenated fat is almost totally saturated and contains only an insignificant trace amount of trans fats. "

So it only becomes a "transfat free food" because the level of transfats drops below 1g per serving - but nevertheless it may well be 2 - 3%! - this is why everything here is listed as per 100g (as well as a serving size) and it could not be advertised as trans fat free.
