About Us

Our legacy starts with peanuts but is carried on with every scoop, spread, or squeeze of Jif® Peanut Butter.

WE BELIEVE

The Jif® team believes in helping people and families feel comforted, empowered and delighted with classic peanut butter spreads, health-conscious choices and crave-worthy combinations. We also believe in helping places and communities be their very best.

That means not only providing the most delicious peanut butter on the planet, but also operating responsibly, sustainably and generously — caring for the environment, treating farmers well and helping those in need.

So, every time you savor a taste of Jif peanut butter, whether it’s a spoonful of Jif No Added Sugar Creamy Peanut Butter Spread or a dollop of Jif Squeeze straight from the pouch, you can feel good knowing that you’re helping to spread some good, too.
