Daily Meal has ranked 13 store-bought strawberry jams and jellies, and Good Good Strawberry Fruit Spread landed in last place. The spread, born in Iceland and made in the Netherlands, was described as keto-friendly and gluten-free, but the review said the flavor did not deliver.
The ranking matters because shoppers reach for these jars expecting an easy trade-off: less sugar, decent texture and enough fruit taste to work on toast. Good Good lists 1 gram of sugar per tablespoon, but costs over $12 a jar, a combination that did not impress in the tasting. Danielle summed up the verdict bluntly: “Good Good is Keto-friendly and gluten-free, and it only contains 1 gram of sugar per tablespoon, but the taste just doesn't cut it.”
The review was not just about one jar. It weighed taste, texture, sugar content and ingredient lists across the shelf, and it took a hard line on products that lean on “no added sugar” labeling. Danielle warned, “When you see ‘no added sugar’ on a jam/jelly jar, my suggestion is run.” That skepticism also shaped the view of Crofter's organic strawberry fruit spread, which was noted for 7 grams of sugar in one tablespoon, 5 of which are added, even though it is non-GMO, USDA Organic and vegan.
Aldi's Specially Selected Premium Strawberry Fruit Spread also did not make the cut, underscoring how crowded the grocery aisle has become. Danielle said Aldi has “a ton of jellies and preserves in stores, along with a solid selection of peanut butters,” a reminder that shelf space alone does not guarantee a strong finish in a taste test. The result leaves shoppers with a familiar choice: pay for specialty claims, or trust the jar that simply tastes like strawberries. In the world of packaged spreads, that last part still decides the winner.
