BY FRED THEOBALD, 12/05/2019

The Esus Group has offered hot sauces from several manufacturers for years, including one of the top three selling brands around the world.

by K. Aleisha Fetters | U.S. News & World Reports February 1, 2019

WHETHER YOU’RE TRYING to lose weight, manage your blood sugar levels or reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, you’ve probably heard the adage that focusing on whole or complex carbs and cutting down on refined ones can help you achieve your goals.

“Carbohydrates often get a bad rap, but each type affects the body differently and many types and sources are beneficial to health,” explains Holly Herrington, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Knowing the differences between each type of carbohydrate is vital to making smarter, healthier decisions with your nutrition.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Peanut prices rising due to depressed worldwide crops and higher Aflatoxin levels.

 

a depressed peanut inventory, along with a worldwide increased demand for peanut butter, plus increased aflatoxin levels drives peanut butter pricing higher, especially for eu products.

The worldwide peanut crop has taken a beating over the past few years, from the reduced production in China, along with an increased demand in that market, has put pressure on the inventory in the USA and Argentina.

Adverse weather in Argentina during the harvest period reduced availability of product from that market, while drought conditions in the USA hurt its inventory.

The result of the negative crop production in those three markets, along with the increased demand for peanut butter and peanut oil, is driving prices higher for all markets.

The EU is feeling the impact on peanut butter pricing because of the smaller inventory, plus because of its required limitations on the level of Aflatoxin allowed in the product.
