      Manufactured outrage for fake internet points. Explaination on the label is perfectly reasonable.

      Well it’s not 100% Australian – they changed the small print, don’t understand why they couldn’t have done the large print. Misleading.

      Since they’re using, presumably, cheaper overseas grown peanuts, they will pass the savings onto us, right?

      Majority of our peanuts are grown in Queensland where I think last years harvest got hit hard by the floods. 

      Now, just to point out too. If the imports end up being cheaper, Mayver’s will likely continue on as is. As do many companies. They hope the outrage goes unnoticed and then in three years from now, its not Australian made and doesnt have the explanation either but people dont care. So it is important imo to raise awareness now.

      A lot of these brands build some loyalty out of having Australian produce then throw it away or sell to bigger players.

      Yeah I’ll pay an extra buck or 5 for Australian jam and peanut butter made from Australian produce, I’ll give the kiwis a pass but made from outside this block nah.

      If you want natural peanut butter just buy the Aldi one. It’s way cheaper ($3.99) and apparently no different since it’s not Australian peanuts.

      Well it’s clear why they had to change if that’s true. I understand if they stick to their word and switch back but I don’t really care either way.

      I was wondering why peanuts disappeared from my local. Will have to try these guys, haven’t come across them before

      I just checked my jar of dark roasted crunchy and needed a magnifying glass the text was so small. They have got very popular.

      Was looking at another Australian made product that was actually made in Hong Kong. Amazing how it is not illegal

      I read that as “we’ve sourced delicious pecans from Argentina…” and I was thinking you can’t do that! People need to know if the peanuts are replaced with something else. Then I re-read label. My eyesight is terrible. I buy this brand for my doggy.

      Well, that’s a shame. I suppose it gives me an excuse to finally get around to trying Bega’s Simply Nuts.

      To be fair, not all of Mayver’s peanut butters were “100% Australian” peanuts. Just some of them were, and the conpany didn’t START with Australian peanuts. They moved towards using Aussie peanuts later.

      The other thing is that Australia’s largest peanut processor (owned by Bega) closed in 2025. They were hemorrhaging money. This affected Australian peanut farmers who were part of the co-op, because suddenly they had to find somewhere else to have them processed. This is different from peanut butter manufacturing, which is still operating.

      Anyway, all of this, plus the weather, all had something to do with the shortage this year.

      FWIW, I think Ridiculously Delicious range of peanut butter tastes better, and they’re still 100% Australian AFAIK.

      Fix and Fogg also tastes better IMO.
