St. Dalfour 100% Fruit Strawberry Spread
Analysis updated September 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This fruit spread is primarily composed of natural ingredients like strawberries and fruit juice concentrates, which provide vitamins and antioxidants. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the use of fruit juice concentrates and pectin, which limits its score despite the absence of harmful additives. The high sugar content, even though derived from fruit, also impacts its healthiness, but the overall clean ingredient list helps maintain a reasonable score within the processing constraints.
