What to know about Sweetmate Sugar Free Mix Berry Jam
No added sugar, yet 32.9 g of fruit sugar
A 220 g jar of mixed berry spread built on berry pulp (60% on the pack), with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and erythritol in place of sugar, set with fruit pectin and lifted with citric acid and natural berry flavour. It is bought by people who want jam on toast without added sugar, and the back of the pack speaks directly to diabetic and child-friendly shoppers.
Per 100 g the pack declares 278 kcal, 69.4 g carbohydrate, 32.9 g total sugar (all from fruit, 0 g added), 0.21 g protein, no fat and 42 mg sodium. At the typical 10 g serve printed on the pack, that is 27.8 kcal and about 3.3 g sugar. Neither erythritol nor FOS has an amount declared.
The front says No Added Sugar, and that holds: added sugar is 0 g. The word sugar free in the name is looser, because the fruit itself carries 32.9 g sugar per 100 g. The list is short and led by real berry pulp. CleanPlate scores it EB2.
Why Sweetmate Sugar Free Mix Berry Jam scores EB2
Nutrition is an E because 0.21 g protein per 100 g earns no credit. Ingredients are a B on a berry-led list, and risk is a 2 with 0 g added sugar, no fat and 42 mg sodium per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density

- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 278 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0.21 g per 100 g and no fat is declared. Most of the 278 kcal per 100 g is carbohydrate (69.4 g), so nothing earns nutrition credit.
No vitamins, minerals or isolated fibre are counted in the grade, so there is nothing to lift it from 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
Mix berry pulp leads at 60% on the pack, ahead of FOS, erythritol, pectin, citric acid and natural flavour. No colour, no added sugar and no artificial flavour appear in the list, so label integrity is intact.
Erythritol costs the most ingredient points, followed by pectin and the natural flavouring. Citric acid costs none. Amounts for FOS and erythritol are not declared.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar

03 Load risk: why 2
Risk is a 2. Added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat and trans fat are 0 g, and sodium is 42 mg per 100 g, so those add almost nothing.
Energy at 278 kcal per 100 g sets the floor for the number. A 10 g serve gives 27.8 kcal.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
