Lingonberry Jam, Organic (SYLT LINGON) — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Lingonberry Jam, Organic (SYLT LINGON) by IKEA TREAT — score 45/90.
A simple jam: real lingonberries plus added sugar. Clean short list, but sugar is the #2 ingredient, so this is a sweet indulgence to spread thin, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #2 ingredient right behind the berries
- Sweet spread: indulgent, eat it thin
- Upside: short, simple list with no artificial colors or flavors
- Pectin and citric acid are benign setting/acidity helpers
Ingredients (5)
- Lingonberries (45%) (safe) — Real organic berries, the base of the jam and a source of fiber and polyphenols
- Sugar (organic) (moderate) — Added sugar is the second ingredient; organic still spikes blood sugar and adds empty calories
- Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
- Pectin (E440, gelling agent) (safe) — A natural soluble fiber from fruit used to set the jam; harmless
- Citric acid (E330, acidity regulator) (safe) — Common, well-tolerated acid that balances tartness and helps the gel; no concern
