7 Toxic Aussie Jam Brands You Must Avoid At All Costs

7 Toxic Aussie Jam Brands You Must Avoid At All Costs

Jam in Australia isn't what it used to be. In this video, we break down the 7 worst jam brands you'll find in Aussie supermarkets in 2025 — and expose the hidden truth behind those cheerful labels and "homestyle" marketing claims.

We cover shockingly low fruit content, imported products disguised as local, misleading health claims, and the jams that scored dismally in independent CHOICE taste tests. From budget supermarket spreads with just 40% fruit to premium "organic" options that are still sugar bombs, we reveal what's really in those jars sitting on your pantry shelf.

If your jam tastes more like syrup than fruit, separates in weird ways, or leaves you wondering "why doesn't this taste like strawberries anymore?" — this video explains exactly why.

We also reveal the Australian jam brands that independent reviewers actually recommend, including small-batch artisan options and the supermarket jams that genuinely deliver on fruit content and flavour.

🔍 Topics Covered:
– Why some jams contain more sugar than fruit
– The "made in Belgium" jam sold as Australian essentials
– Reduced-sugar jams that taste terrible (and scored 41% in blind tests)
– Heritage brands coasting on nostalgia with unchanged formulas
– Imported bargain jams with zero traceability
– The organic trap: why "organic" doesn't mean "low sugar"
– Where to buy jam you can actually trust (including Beerenberg and local options)
