What to know about Chabaa Blueberry Fruit Jam
Real blueberry first, but 60 g sugar per 100 g
Chabaa Blueberry Fruit Jam is a 430 g jar of fruit spread made from blueberry (45%), white sugar and glucose syrup, set with pectin and finished with citric acid, a class II preservative and artificial flavour. It is a product of Thailand, bought as a sweet spread for bread, toast and desserts.
A 15 g spoon gives 40 kcal and 9 g total sugar, of which the pack declares 7 g as added. Per 100 g that is 266.67 kcal and 60 g sugar. Protein, fat, saturated fat and sodium are all declared as zero, so the jam is almost entirely sugar and water.
The name promises blueberry, and the list delivers it: blueberry is the first ingredient at 45%. What the pack adds is a declared artificial blueberry flavour and a class II preservative, both stated openly on the back. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
Why Chabaa Blueberry Fruit Jam scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because protein, fibre and minerals are all absent. Ingredients are a B on a short list led by real blueberry, and risk is a 4 on 60 g sugar per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 267 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0 g per 100 g, and no fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing earns credit. The energy, 266.67 kcal per 100 g, comes from 66.67 g of carbohydrate, of which 60 g is sugar.
One 15 g spoon gives 40 kcal, which is small, but it brings nothing beyond energy.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and led by blueberry at 45%, followed by sugar, glucose syrup and water. Pectin, citric acid and potassium sorbate are common jam additives, and the sorbate and citric acid cost nothing in the ingredient grade.
Artificial flavour costs ingredient points, and pectin costs a small one. No hydrogenated fat is listed and the label has no hollow promises, so the grade holds at B.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 46.7 g
- Sodium
- 0 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the whole risk number: 60 g per 100 g counted as free sugar, because the glucose syrup's sugar is not fully in the declared added-sugar line of 46.67 g. That lands the grade on a 4.
Saturated fat, trans fat and sodium are all 0, so they play no part. One 15 g spoon has about 9 g sugar.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Chabaa Blueberry Fruit Jam live up to its claims?
The blueberry name holds, with blueberry at 45% as the first ingredient. The artificial flavour and added preservative are declared on the pack, and the natural-sounding lines are framing.
- Product nameHolds
“Blueberry Fruit Jam”
Blueberry is the first ingredient at 45%, so the fruit named is really there. Sugar and glucose syrup make up much of the rest.
- On the packBe careful
“Naturally Delicious Fruit Jam”
The fruit is real, but the jam also has artificial flavour, a class II preservative and 60 g sugar per 100 g. Delicious is a taste claim, not a nutrition one.
- On the packBe careful
“Prepared from high quality fruits”
Quality cannot be checked from the label. What it shows is 45% blueberry, with sugar and glucose syrup following.
- On the packHolds
“Contains permitted artificial flavor”
The artificial blueberry flavour is declared on the back and listed in the ingredients. It costs ingredient points but is stated openly.
What's in Chabaa Blueberry Fruit Jam?
Blueberry, white sugar and glucose syrup lead the list, with pectin setting it. Watch the sugar and the artificial flavour.
The ingredient list, read for you
Blueberry (45%) leads, then white sugar and glucose syrup, so the jam is fruit and two sweeteners in close company. Water thins it, pectin sets it, and citric acid keeps it tart and stable.
Potassium sorbate (E202) is the class II preservative, and artificial flavour is added for a stronger blueberry taste.
Ingredients to watch
- SugarConcern
60 g total sugar per 100 g, about 9 g in one 15 g spoon. The pack declares 46.67 g per 100 g as added, and the glucose syrup is counted as free sugar too.
- Artificial flavourWorth watching
Added for blueberry taste even though real blueberry is 45%. It costs ingredient points.
- Glucose syrup and pectinWorth watching
A second sweetener after white sugar, and a gelling agent that costs a small ingredient point.
- Potassium sorbate (E202)Fine
A class II preservative, declared on the pack. It costs no points in the ingredient grade.
- Fat and sodiumFine
Saturated fat, trans fat and sodium are all declared as 0.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre, protein, vitamins or minerals are declared, so the fruit adds little beyond flavour.

Use a spoon in curd, on toast or in a bake, where 15 g gives 40 kcal and about 9 g sugar.
Blueberry curd bowl
Stir one 15 g spoon into plain curd, so the sweetness comes from about 9 g sugar rather than a heavier topping.
Thin-spread toast
Spread a single spoon over toast with a little peanut butter for protein, since the jam itself has none.

Use half a spoon per biscuit as a filling, so a batch stays sweet without piling on sugar from the jam.
