Is Jif Creamy Peanut Butter low FODMAP?

FODMAP score

16

Low FODMAP

Yes — a standard two-tablespoon serving of Jif Creamy sits comfortably in the low-FODMAP zone. Peanuts are the rare legume that tests low at everyday portions, and they make up nearly all of this jar. The added sugar is plain sucrose — glucose and fructose in balance, so no fructose excess — and the fully hydrogenated rapeseed and soybean oils, mono- and diglycerides, and salt are fats, emulsifiers, and minerals with no FODMAP content at all. The only line worth a glance is molasses, tucked under "contains 2% or less": molasses on its own skews toward excess fructose, but at that concentration a serving holds a fraction of a gram — trace territory, not a trigger. The dose story here is really about the peanuts themselves: push well past a quarter cup in one sitting and their naturally small GOS content starts to add up, which is true of any peanut butter, not something specific to Jif. Spread it on sourdough or rice cakes rather than regular sandwich bread and the whole snack stays low. If you'd rather skip the molasses question entirely, single-ingredient natural peanut butters are on the same shelf.

What's inside

Roasted peanutsPeanuts test low-FODMAP at standard two-tablespoon servings; their small GOS content only stacks at very large amounts.
SugarSucrose is glucose and fructose in balance — no excess fructose.
MolassesSkews toward excess fructose, but at under 2% of the jar a serving carries only a trace.
Fully hydrogenated vegetable oils (rapeseed, soybean)Pure fat — no FODMAP content.
Mono- and diglyceridesEmulsifier fats, not fermentable carbohydrates.

📏 Two tablespoons (about 33 g) is the standard serving and comfortably low; the sub-2% molasses is a trace at that size. Only quarter-cup-plus sittings start stacking the peanuts' natural GOS — and what you spread it on matters more than the jar.
