12 May 2011 --- Peter Pan Natural peanut butter spreads were developed to directly address these consumer barriers by offering the brand's perfect blend of 'peanutty' taste at a great value. 5/12/2011 --- ConAgra Foods, Inc., one of North America's leading food makers, announced a new line of natural peanut butter spreads from its Peter Pan brand. The three no-stir varieties - Natural Creamy, Natural Crunchy and Natural Honey Roast Creamy - are made with 100 percent natural ingredients and contain no high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans fat or preservatives. "Some natural peanut butters are perceived as being too expensive, difficult to stir, and having oily pooling on top," said Karl Sears, vice president and general manager, ConAgra Foods. "Peter Pan Natural peanut butter spreads were developed to directly address these consumer barriers by offering the brand's perfect blend of 'peanutty' taste at a great value. Priced the same as the original Peter Pan varieties, there's no need to stir and no pooling on top."

Natural peanut butter dollar sales increased 9.4 percent this year with dollar sales for the total peanut butter category growing at 2.1 percent. Currently, natural peanut butter accounts for 17 percent of all peanut butter sales. "Peter Pan is already the fastest growing peanut butter brand with dollar sales increasing more than 6 percent this year," Sears said. "We expect even more sales momentum as more people begin to incorporate natural foods into their diets. With the launch of Peter Pan Natural, we're now able to meet the needs of every peanut butter lover."
