We have been buying Sunbutter regularly because both my husband and I love to eat it; and a few months ago, my son asked to try it again. He said that he loves it, and he really meant it this time.

Every day, he wants a Sunbutter and jam sandwich. He also often asks for a snack of Sunbutter on crackers or cookies.

A five-pound tub of it is starting to look like a good idea.

Our nut-allergic son was so excited about eating it when we first bought it that he wanted to eat it in the car. I told him that he had to wait until we got home, and he chanted “I love it, I love it, I love it!” from his car seat in excited anticipation of trying a new treat. Once in the kitchen, I spread a thin layer on his favourite kind of cracker. He ate it, small bite by small bite while whispering “I love it, I love it, I love it” more and more quietly. When he’d eaten the whole thing, I asked him if he wanted some more, and he said, “No… I love it …. I love it.” I said, “You don’t like it, do you? It’s okay if you don’t.” “No, I don’t like it,” he replied. He still mumbled “I love it” under his breath a couple more times as if he was desperately trying to convince himself he did. 

So, he doesn’t like it. I’ve heard the same thing from other parents of peanut-allergic children — many of these children do not like peanut butter substitutes. Maybe it’s a natural defense mechanism. I think SunButter is so much like peanut butter that I would have believed it was if I didn’t have the jar in front of me. So maybe it would be confusing to our son to know that SunButter is safe for him to eat, whereas something that appears to be identical to it could make him very sick.

Nevertheless, we are happy to have SunButter in our house so those who like it can partake while our son remains safe if he comes in contact with it. 

Manufacturers now have a ‘same taste’ one to one substitute they can use to replace both peanuts and peanut butter in virtually any kind of product. Never before has there been a product that tastes, smells, and looks just like peanut butter—until now, from Hilton Soy Foods.

There is a twofold crisis now occurring in millions of homes, schools and factories across the country. Due to the growing prevalence of kids with severe allergic reactions to peanuts, schools are now banning our kids from bringing any peanut or peanut butter products to school. In addition, everyone now has tremendous food safety quality concerns and negative perceptions resulting from the recent peanut salmonella problems. Hilton’s innovative peanut butter-like, Omega3 SoyButter can now solve both crises.

After four years of development, Hilton Soy Foods has created a safe and healthy solution for manufacturers who want to help keep kids and schools safe and free of peanut allergies.  In addition, with Hilton’s Omega3 SoyButter and the various granulations of Toasted Soy Ingredients available, manufacturers can now make a variety of innovative products with a p-nutty taste that everyone can feel safe in enjoying.

Hilton SoyButter is all natural with no fillers or artificial anything that really does look, smell, and taste like real peanut butter. Kids and adults alike love the taste and can’t believe it’s not peanut butter!

The SoyButter is made from gently roasted non-gmo soy sustainably grown and produced in Ontario,Canada by the Mahon family. Scott Mahon, president of the company, and one of three brothers working in the family-owned business states, “My family and I are very excited and proud to be able to produce a product that fills such a critical need in the food industry. We have taken extra special care to grow, process, and dry roast our soy safely and just right with our proprietary toasting technology to bring out the p-nutty flavor that makes our Toasted Soy Ingredients and SoyButter taste great.”

Hilton Omega3 SoyButter is produced in a stainless steel closed-loop system that assures food safety and quality, and prevents all microbiological contamination.

Hilton Soy Foods claims soybeans are naturally safer than peanuts since they are grown above ground and harvested dry, vs peanuts that grow under ground, are harvested moist, and therefore more susceptible to microbiological contamination and aflatoxin mold.

Hilton SoyButter is already used by a number of food manufacturers and is sold in over 85 food service distributors and thousands of retail supermarkets.
