Is Justin's peanut butter healthy? The Justin's label we checked (classic almond butter) is two ingredients: dry roasted almonds and palm oil. We explain why palm oil is added, compare peanut and almond butters from our catalog, contrast them with Jif and Skippy labels, and give a five point nut butter check (as of October 2026).
