The other day I was thinking about how much I liked Nutter Butters, and I decided to drop Nabisco a line to see what kind of sugar they used in their products. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have any sort of consistent practice. This is probably to due different production facilities, suppliers, and prices, which makes sense. However, it does make it difficult to tell if their sugar uses bone char.

Hi Benjamin,
Thank you for visiting http://www.nabiscoworld.com .
Thank you for contacting us regarding the Nutter Butter Cookies.
The information that I have regarding you inquiry if the Nutter Butter Cookies are vegan is as follows:
I understand that knowing what ingredients are in the food products you eat directly affect how you practice your religion/dietary lifestyle, and Kraft Foods does all that it can to assist its consumers in making educated food decisions.
I apologize but unfortunately this ingredient information is not currently available.
As you can imagine our products change frequently, and maintaining a list of products for specific dietary practices would be virtually impossible.
In addition, in general, our products are analyzed for total sugars as opposed to specific types of sugar.
When sugar is listed as an ingredient, it refers to sucrose (table sugar).
Sucrose in our products can come from either sugar cane or sugar beets, depending on availability.
Sucrose is the same whether it comes from sugar cane or sugar beets.
“Sugars” as listed on the Nutrition Facts panel represents the total sugars in the product, not just sucrose.
“Sugars” refers to any sugar in a product that is added, naturally occurring or both.
An example of a naturally occurring sugar is the lactose in dairy products or fructose in fruits.
An example of an added sugar is sucrose (table sugar).
Thank you for taking the time to contact the consumer service center.
If you haven’t done so already, please add our site to your favorites and visit us again soon!
