I contacted Smuckers that makes Adam's Natural Peanut Butter but they said they don't export to Malaysia which is weird because I see it in Jaya Grocers. I asked Smuckers and they said they can't verify so there is a possibility what is sold in Malaysia is actually counterfeit Adam's Peanut Butter with their label or imported without the knowledge of Smuckers Corp!!
I also contacted Jaya Grocers / Trendcell Sdn Bhd and they said they don't distribute Adam's Peanut Butter in carton meaning I can't buy in bulk from them.
I think my family maybe 2-4 tablespoons per person per day. 20g per tablespoon * 3 spoons * 4 person * 30 days = 7.2kg. So 7.2kg per month. Then sometimes friends come so can easily round up to 8kg per month. Yeah, you can see how the more than RM400/month cost starts to affect me.
The other option is Yogood brand (Shyan Trading from Shah Alam). But I'm very suspicious of them. I contacted them and asked if they have verified they do not use hydrogenated palm oil and their email response was "The manufacturer has informed us that they do not use hydrogenated oils in the peanut butter.". I don't see any separation in their peanut butter and the taste sometimes tastes like peanut spread. So I feel suspicious because even their email response is something like, ah, the manufacturer guy told us no hydrogenated oil, so not our problem. But I feel like since the manufacturer doesn't even have their own brand, they aren't someone who can be trusted 100%.
I have nothing of value to add but I just want to say, wow. That is a lot of peanut butter. Up to 4 tablespoon a day, up to 400 kcal a day. I'm impressed. That's a super easy source of calories. I'll keep that in mind for my next bulking period. I'll just eat at maintenance and add 2 PB sandwiches. BAM, 400kcal surplus, not including the bread itself.I also contacted Jaya Grocers / Trendcell Sdn Bhd and they said they don't distribute Adam's Peanut Butter in carton meaning I can't buy in bulk from them.
