Healthy Living

• St Dalfour contains 0.25 grams added sugar (from fruit juice) per gram of product, which is among the lowest added sugar in the fruit spread category.

• Swapping 1 Tbsp of St Dalfour for 1 Tbsp of the leading fruit jelly has the potential to cut the amount of added sugar in half.

• St Dalfour fruit spreads contain among the lowest levels of sucrose in the category. Sucrose, or table sugar, is responsible for high blood-sugar spikes in standard white sugar.

• Swapping 1 Tbsp St Dalfour for 1 Tbsp of the leading fruit jelly once daily for an entire year would save 35 g of added sugar per week, or 1,820 g (455 tsp) of added sugar over 1 year – equivalent to nearly 50 cans of regular cola.

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that Americans drastically cut back on added sugar to help slow the obesity and heart disease epidemics.
