Best Answer

This depends on the type of peanut butter.

In the US, manufacturers are not required to list the actual weights of each ingredient per package or per serving, although they are required to disclose the per-serving weights of various compounds (see the nutrition facts).

Even Skippy is almost all peanuts with a few grams per jar of added salt, sugar and oil. It is easy to make peanut butter from nothing but hulled peanuts, simply by crushing or grinding them, so some peanut butter has no added ingredients.
