Wild Blueberry Preserves — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Wild Blueberry Preserves by Bonne Maman TREAT — score 45/90.

This is real wild blueberries and a genuinely clean label with no preservatives or corn syrup, exactly as advertised. It's also close to half sugar, with two separate added sugar sources stacked right behind the fruit. Enjoy it as the sweet spread it is, not as a wholesome everyday health food.

Why this verdict

• Wild blueberries are the first ingredient and the fruit is real, not concentrate or flavoring
• Two distinct added sugars, plain sugar and cane sugar, sit right behind the fruit
• Fruit preserves like this run close to half sugar by weight
• No preservatives, high-fructose corn syrup, or artificial colors, matching the label claims
• Simple five-ingredient list, but sugar-dominant, which puts it in the occasional-treat column rather than a balanced everyday food
