Is Your Peanut Butter Really Safe? Aflatoxin & Preservative-Free Truth Every Indian Must Know
🥜 Why “Safety” Matters in Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is no longer just a Western food—it’s a daily staple in many Indian households. Fitness lovers enjoy it as a protein boost, parents pack it into kids’ lunchboxes, and families spread it on breakfast toast.
But one important question is often ignored:
👉 Is your peanut butter really safe?
Two major risks hide behind that creamy texture:
- Aflatoxin contamination in peanuts.
- Preservatives & additives added by some brands.
This blog reveals the hidden truth and explains how Pure Farms Peanut Butter ensures 100% natural, FSSAI-certified, preservative-free, and aflatoxin-tested safety.
🔬 What Are Aflatoxins and Why Should You Care?
- Aflatoxins are toxic compounds produced by molds that can grow on peanuts if they are stored in warm, humid conditions.
- Long-term exposure to aflatoxins may damage the liver and lower immunity.
- The FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) sets strict aflatoxin limits in food to protect consumers [FSSAI Source].
❌ The problem: Most brands do not openly share their testing process.
✅ At Pure Farms, every batch of peanuts undergoes multi-level lab testing to ensure aflatoxin levels are well below FSSAI-certified safety standards.
🚫 Preservatives & Additives in Regular Peanut Butter
Many commercial peanut butters use hidden additives such as:
- Preservatives to extend shelf life.
- Hydrogenated oils to stop oil separation.
- Added sugar & salt to make it taste sweeter.
But here’s the reality:
- Unnecessary calories that lead to weight gain.
- Loss of natural nutrition.
- Risk of sugar dependency in kids.
👉 That’s why the smarter choice is Pure Farms Preservative-Free Peanut Butter — just peanuts and natural goodness.
