What to know about Kissan Apricot & Peach Jam Spread
Half fruit pulp, sweetened with fruit juice concentrates
A 340 g jar of fruit spread made from apricot and peach pulps (50%), date juice concentrate, apple juice concentrate and citrus pectin as the gelling agent. It is aimed at people who want a jam-style spread for toast, sandwiches and desserts without refined sugar in it.
A 20 g tablespoon gives 44 kcal, 0.3 g protein, 0.5 g fibre and 9.9 g sugar. Per 100 g that is 219 kcal, 49.5 g sugar, 2.4 g fibre and 36 mg sodium. Fat is 0.2 g and saturated fat is 0 g, so the cost here is all sugar.
The pack says 100% Fruits and No Added Refined Sugars. The list backs the fruit base, and no added sugar is declared, but the juice concentrates are a concentrated sugar source and count as free sugar. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
Why Kissan Apricot & Peach Jam Spread scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because protein is 1.4 g and fibre 2.4 g per 100 g with no vitamins declared. Ingredients are a B on a short list, and risk is a 4 on 49.5 g sugar per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 1.4 g
- Fibre
- 2.4 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 219 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 1.4 g per 100 g and fibre 2.4 g, so a 20 g tablespoon gives 0.3 g protein and 0.5 g fibre. The largest protein contributor is the date juice concentrate, and it is a very small amount.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. Energy comes almost entirely from sugar, which is why nutrition sits at the bottom.
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 made of fruit: apricot and peach pulps at 50%, date and apple juice concentrates, and citrus pectin as the gelling agent. There are no colours, preservatives, flavours or hydrogenated fats.
Pectin (440) costs a small number of ingredient points as an additive. The juice concentrates carry no declared percentages, which holds back the label side a little. No promise on the pack is hollow.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 36 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the risk number. No added sugar is declared, but because juice concentrates are listed, all 49.5 g of sugar per 100 g is counted as free sugar. That is 9.9 g in a 20 g tablespoon.
Saturated fat is 0 g, trans fat 0 g and sodium 36 mg per 100 g, so they add almost nothing. Energy at 219 kcal per 100 g is moderate and is not a factor here.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
