Summary

This jam is heavily reliant on refined sugar, which constitutes a significant portion of its composition, contributing to potential health risks like weight gain and metabolic issues. Despite containing a good amount of fruit, the product is ultra-processed, which limits its score due to the high level of processing involved. The presence of a single additive, pectin, is typical for jams and does not significantly impact the score.
