Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Jam scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol (From Tapioca)): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Other Additives (Acidity Regulators (Citric Acid, Trisodium Citrate)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Jams & Spreads, this product is more processed than about 97% of the 3,925 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
