Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 20g serving contains 13.6g of sugar, which constitutes over 27% of the FSSAI's recommended daily intake for added sugar. Although it is low in fat and sodium, the fact that sugar is the main ingredient makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Pineapple Jam Yogurt Parfait
In a glass, create layers starting with thick Greek yogurt, followed by a thin layer of Kissan Pineapple Jam, and topped with a sprinkle of whole-grain muesli or oats. Repeat the layers. Garnish with fresh mint.
Health Benefits
This parfait balances the jam's sugar with protein from yogurt and fiber from muesli for sustained energy.
Whole Wheat Jam Toast with Chia Seeds
Toast a slice of whole wheat or multigrain bread. Spread a very thin layer (about half a teaspoon) of the pineapple jam evenly on the toast. Optionally, sprinkle some chia seeds on top for extra fiber and omega-3s.
Health Benefits
Using whole wheat bread adds essential dietary fiber, making it a more filling and healthier choice than white bread.
Pineapple Power Smoothie
Blend a small spoonful of pineapple jam with milk or yogurt, a handful of spinach, and half a banana. This incorporates the jam's flavor into a nutrient-dense smoothie. Add a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout drink.
Health Benefits
Masks the jam's high sugar content within a drink rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Thickener (INS 440), Acidity Regulator (INS 330), and Class II Preservatives (INS 211, INS 223), are permitted by FSSAI for this food category. While generally considered safe within prescribed limits, individuals with sensitivity to sulphites (INS 223) or benzoates (INS 211) should exercise caution.

Marketing Claims
The marketing focuses on the fruit content ('Pineapple Jam', 'From the Kerala Farms'), which could potentially mislead consumers into perceiving it as a healthy, natural product. While it does contain 46% pineapple pulp, the primary ingredient is sugar. The claims are not technically false but lack transparency regarding the high sugar content, which is the dominant nutritional characteristic.
