Peanuts are beans (legumes) and thus are kitniot. Perhaps the KP is for
sephardim.

<http://www.kashrut.com/Passover/pesachart/>
"Even if a product says that it is kosher for Passover, it still may be
inappropriate for you. More and more products from Israel (where the
majority of the population are Sephardim, who do use kitniot) have been
imported to this country. These products are not kosher for Passover for
Ashkenazim, but will be labeled as kosher for Passover, since they are
kosher for Passover for Sephardim. Some of the problematic ingredients
include lecithin, corn syrup, rice and peanuts."
