Peanut Butter Brand Jif to Launch Line of Hazelnut Spreads

For those concerned parties that think Nutella has too dominant a share of the hazelnut spread market (har har), rest a bit easier tonight: Jif, the popular peanut butter purveyor, is releasing their own line of hazelnut spreads.

Despite Nutella‘s recent uphill battle regarding the healthiness of their product, Jif is pushing forward with the release of both their Chocolate and Mocha Cappuccino flavored hazelnut spreads.

Both of Jif’s new hazelnut spreads have similar nutritional makeup. Each flavor will run you nearly 230 calories and 14 grams per serving, and only net you 2 grams of protein.

It may not be the healthiest spread around, but as long as Jif doesn’t market it as a ‘healthy’ product, they can avoid similar recent troubles that Nutella faced.
