The Differences Between Jif & Smucker's Peanut Butter

Jif started making peanut butter in 1958 and has introduced many varieties over the years. They have been the leading brand of peanut butter in the United States since 1981 (as of the publication date of this article). Smucker's has been making consumer products, like peanut butter, for more than 110 years. The company has appeared on "FORTUNE" magazine's list of 100 best companies to work more than a dozen times. Both companies make popular versions of natural, creamy, peanut butter. They are similar products, but are noticeably different by ingredients and nutritional value. Add this to my Recipe Box.
