I Am Not in Charge of This
As many of you know, I have recently started work at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Basically, everything that needs to be measured, NIST deals with... from meter sticks to kilograms to bits per second to calories. As you can see from above, NIST also maintains Standard Reference Peanut Butter. Yes, if you want to know what all peanut butter manufactures calibrate their instruments to when measuring the nutritional contents of their own peanut butters, this is it.
UPDATE: Here's a link where you can order the peanut butter as well as other Standard Reference Materials from NIST.
