Raspberry Jam

by Dmb

Health Grade: C – Fair

Category: Spreads

This Raspberry Jam has mostly natural ingredients like raspberries and whole grain wheat, which is great. However, it contains evaporated cane juice and brown sugar, raising some gut irritation risks from sugars and potassium chloride. Overall, the cancer and hormone disruption risks are low, making it a fairly decent choice but watch the sugars and additives.
