Nutritional & Ingredient Concerns

1. Sugar Content:

   • The "0%" label suggests no added sugar, but the product may still contain natural sugars from peaches (typically ~10–15g per serving, depending on the batch).
   • Warning: Even sugar-free jams can be high in fructose (a natural fruit sugar), which may affect blood sugar levels in sensitive individuals (e.g., diabetics). Always check the nutritional label for exact values.

2. Additives:

   • Common ingredients in Hacendado jams include:
     • Peach purée (primary ingredient).
     • Citric acid (preservative, pH regulator).
     • Pectin (thickening agent, derived from fruit).
     • Vitamin C (preservative, may be added).
     • Possible artificial flavors or colors (rare in Hacendado’s standard products, but verify the label).
   • Allergens: May contain citrus (if citric acid is sourced from citrus) or soy (in some packaging materials). Check for allergen warnings on the jar.
