Strawberry Jam

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Smucker's Strawberry Jam scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 0g protein and 12g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Smucker's Strawberry Jam lists 6 ingredients, starting with Strawberries, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Sugar and Fruit Pectin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

50 kcal per serving, or 250 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Smucker's Strawberry Jam on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 15/100 Smucker's Strawberry Jam scores worse than most pantry & staples we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pantry & staples is Good & Gather Organic Crunchy Peanut Butter at 100/100.
