St Dalfour - Raspberry Fruit Spread | 284g
Summary
This raspberry fruit spread contains a high percentage of raspberries and uses fruit juice concentrate as a sweetener, which is a more natural alternative to refined sugars. However, the product is classified as ultra-processed due to the use of concentrated fruit juice and pectin, which limits its score. Despite the processing level, the absence of artificial additives and the use of natural ingredients contribute positively to its rating.
