An edible spread composition comprises a homogenous mixture of plant
fiber-containing material, edible oil, water, and an effective amount of
an emulsifier that prevents separation of oil from the plant fiber and
other mixture solids that otherwise occurs in its absence when the edible
spread composition is discharged while held under pressure. The edible
spread composition may be, for instance, a peanut butter spread
composition or a chocolate spread composition. There also is a packaged
spread product comprising the edible spread composition that is held
inside a pressurized container and dispensed without experiencing oil
separation.
