This standard covers general provisions that are applicable to a class of fruit spreads
commonly known as jams, jellies and marmalades for direct consumption, including for
catering purposes or for repacking if required. This standard does not apply to:
(a) products that are intended for further processing such as those used in the manufacture
of fine bakery wares, pastries or biscuits;
(b) products which are clearly intended or labelled for special dietary uses;
(c) reduced sugar products or those with a very low sugar content; and
(d) products where the foodstuffs with sweetening properties have been replaced wholly or
partially by food additive sweeteners.
This standard includes products prepared not only from single fruits but also prepared from
two or more fruits.
