Lexington Plant
The Procter & Gamble Lexington, Kentucky Plant is the sole manufacturer of Jif, the nation's number one choice of peanut butter. The Lexington Plant, which is the largest peanut butter producing facility in the world, was purchased by P&G in 1955, when the peanut butter label was "Big Top." The manufacture of Big Top was phased out by P&G early in 1971. In addition to making regular Jif (creamy and crunchy), the Plant manufactures Simply Jif, which is low in salt and sugar, and Reduced Fat Jif. About one in every ten peanuts grown in this country for domestic consumption ends up in a jar of Jif.
