What to know about Kissan Blueberry & Mulberry Jam Spread
Fruit-only spread, but 48.4 g of sugar per 100 g
A 340 g jar of fruit spread made from blueberry and mulberry pulps (50% together), date juice concentrate, apple juice concentrate and citrus pectin as the gelling agent. It is aimed at people who want a jam-style spread with no table sugar, no preservatives and no artificial colours.
A 20 g serve, one tablespoon, gives 43 kcal, 1.2 g protein per 100 g and 3.4 g fibre per 100 g (0.7 g per serve). The cost is sugar: 48.4 g per 100 g, or about 9.7 g per serve. Fat, saturated fat and sodium are all very low, with 37 mg sodium per 100 g.
The pack says 100% fruits and no added refined sugars, and the list backs both up. What it does not do is name how much blueberry or mulberry is in the jar, only 50% for the two pulps together. CleanPlate scores it DB4.
Why Kissan Blueberry & Mulberry Jam Spread scores DB4
Nutrition is a D because protein is only 1.2 g per 100 g. Ingredients are a B for a short list with one gelling agent, and risk is a 4 because of 48.4 g sugar per 100 g.
Low nutrient density

- Fibre
- 3.4 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 214 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 1.2 g per 100 g and fibre is 3.4 g per 100 g, with 0.7 g fibre in a 20 g serve. Most of the little protein comes from the fruit pulp.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade.
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 four items: blueberry and mulberry pulps at 50%, date and apple juice concentrates, and citrus pectin. There is no hydrogenated fat, dye, preservative or sweetener, which is why the ingredient grade is strong.
Pectin (440) costs a small number of ingredient points. The name puts blueberry first without saying how much blueberry there is, which costs a little more under label rules.
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
- 37 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the risk number. The pack declares 0 g added sugar, but the sugar in the fruit pulp and juice concentrates is counted as free sugar: 48.4 g per 100 g, about 9.7 g per serve.
Sodium is 37 mg per 100 g, and saturated fat and trans fat are 0 g. Energy is 214 kcal per 100 g, 43 kcal per serve. Neither adds to the risk number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
