Sanitarium stops Peanut Butter

Share to Google Classroom

Sanitarium has ended its peanut butter production, citing declining customer demand and a shift toward other popular products.

The company announced the decision, explaining that the last jars were made in late July. They expressed gratitude to their loyal customers for supporting the brand over the past century.

In a statement, Sanitarium acknowledged that the news might disappoint some fans. “We sincerely apologise for any sadness caused,” the company said.

This isn’t the first major change for Sanitarium this year. In March, the company revealed plans to discontinue several breakfast cereals by mid-2025, including Muesli, Granola, Honey Puffs, and others. These products represent only 10% of the company’s sales.

Sanitarium’s general manager, Michael Barton, explained that the decision reflects global trends in breakfast habits. “The breakfast market is changing, and we must adapt to consumer preferences,” he said.

When the bell rang, most of the class rushed outside, but Tane stayed in the library a little longer. He had chosen a book about dolphins and was tracing the pictures with his finger. “You can take that home if you want,” said the librarian. Tane shook his head, smiled, and tucked the book carefully under his arm. He walked out slowly, glancing back at the shelves as if he already knew he would return the next day.

What does Tane's behaviour suggest?
