Organic Triple Berry Jammin' Fruit Spread
by Wegmans
Health Grade: A – Excellent
Category: Spreads
This fruit spread earns an A grade because it uses mostly whole, organic fruits and dairy, rich with probiotics and vitamins. The sugar source is organic cane sugar, which is natural but still should be consumed moderately. The only small concern is the yellow lake color, which adds some cancer and gut irritation risk, but the overall score remains excellent.
- yellow lake color – controversial · A synthetic coloring agent that can irritate the gut and has some links to cancer in animal studies, so it is best limited.
- sweet cream – safe · A natural dairy fat that provides richness and fat-soluble nutrients without harmful additives.
- live probiotic bacteria – beneficial · Provides live cultures that support digestive health and balance gut flora.
- strawberries – beneficial · Whole fruit rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, supporting metabolism and gut health.
- wild blueberries – beneficial · Wild berries high in antioxidants that protect cells and reduce inflammation.
- raspberry – beneficial · High-fiber fruit that promotes healthy digestion and a stable blood sugar response.
- sugar cane – controversial · Natural sugar that raises blood sugar but less refined than white sugar; should be used in moderation.
- pectins – beneficial · Soluble fiber that also helps feed healthy gut bacteria.
- selenium – beneficial · Essential trace mineral that supports immune defense and reduces oxidative stress.
- vitamins a, c, d, and e – beneficial · Key vitamins that promote overall health, antioxidant protection, and immunity.
