Meridian Peanut Butter

Meridian Foods is a well-established British brand that has been a pioneer in the natural food sector since its founding in 1982. Originally starting as a small-scale producer, the company has grown into one of the UK’s leading nut butter brands, known particularly for its commitment to being 100% palm oil free and avoiding the use of air freight for its ingredients to minimize environmental impact.

The product is manufactured in the United Kingdom, specifically at the company's own production facility in Wrexham, North Wales. Meridian prides itself on traditional roasting methods, having 'roasted for over 40 years' as noted on their packaging. They source high-quality peanuts which are then roasted in their skins to preserve nutritional value and flavor.

In terms of ownership, Meridian Foods was previously part of 3V Natural Foods. In February 2018, the brand was acquired by the SHS Group, a major consumer goods company headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As of 2026, the SHS Group remains the ultimate owner, managing Meridian alongside other well-known household brands like WKD, Shloer, and Bottlegreen.
