Adams peanut butter.

[xerref]

Don't buy the no stir versions: they've got trans fat - no difference from other commercial brands. Buy only the natural ones which you have to stir the oil with the rest of the peanut butter.

Which ingredient contains trans fats? IIRC palm oil is trans fats free?

Non stir versions contain vegetable monoglycerides. This contain trans fat even though it is processed from palm oil.

Nope.. Unless we are looking at different ingredient profiles.
The palm oil is not hydrogenated..

Don't take the risk, read this:

but link's referring to hydrogenated palm oil.

from the first link

Among the most prevalent of these is hardened palm oil, or palm oil exposed to hydrogen and high temperatures, a process that forms trans fats.

I think the we both agree that non-hydrogenated palm oil does not contain trans fats, but does contain mono-glycerides.

My concern isn't with palm oil; rather it's the vegetable monoglycerides made from palm oil in the non-stir versions:

Natural Peanut Butter - Adams Peanut Butter

If the label just lists palm oil, then it's no big deal because it's natural BUT when you have vegetable monoglycerides that's processed FROM palm oil, that's where the hidden danger of trans fat lie.

Mono- and diglycerides are emulsifying agents – they are both hydrophilic (attracting water) and hydrophobic (repelling water), so they are soluble in both water AND fat, which makes them unique – but not necessarily natural. They are used to keep oils from separating out of products and used to increase shelf life – the same reasons that trans fats are used in most products. Just think of traditional peanut butter – it is smooth and creamy right out of the jar because the trans fat in it prevents the oil from separating out. In fact, you’ll find mono- and diglycerides in many varieties of peanut butter in addition to bakery products – and you’ll even find them in most margarines, another product where trans fat runs rampant.

My personal conclusion is that if a product is processed with such emulsifying agents, it's best is to avoid it....

Hello uncle chay,

I just wanted to clarify that non hydrogenated palm oil does nut contain trans fats.
Mono-glycerides != trans fats
Fats and Oils Structure and Function Update | 2010-06-01 | Prepared Foods
Eg. GMS a popular ingredient in pre workouts is a mono-glycerides too
Thanks for elaborating on the potential dangers of mono-glycerides though.

Not all Cold Storage outlets sell it; only the larger outlets & even then it's just 2 - 3 bottles.

My advice is to wait until NTUC & NTUC Finest restock them.
