This warning comes from Ahana Brutlag. She is the Associate Director of Veterinary Services at Veterinary Centers of America.

Some brands are using Xylitol in their peanut butter. If you re like me, you re like what the heck is Xylitol?
According to the Doc:
Xylitol is a naturally occurring substance that is widely used as a sugar substitute. Chemically, it is a sugar alcohol, and found naturally in berries, plums, corn, oats, mushrooms, lettuce, trees, and some other fruits.
