Isn't no-stir peanut butter usually peanut butter with added palm oil? Other than the fact that this phase out will likely increase the demand for (and cost of) palm oil, it shouldn't have much effect on that.

The permanently stable peanut butter absolutely requires a small amount of added trans fats. It is not added saturated fat such as from palm oil.
