The Fresh Market Apricot jam

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

The Fresh Market Apricot jam scores 39/100 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. 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.

The Fresh Market Apricot jam lists 7 ingredients, starting with Apricots, Sugar, Glucose Fructose Syrup, Water and Pectin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 39/100 The Fresh Market Apricot jam scores worse than most syrups & spreads we have scored. A higher-scoring option in syrups & spreads is Spring Tree 100% Pure Rich Taste Maple Syrup at 100/100.
