“After laboratory tests were conducted it became clear that various jams did not contain the level of fruit required,” a spokesperson for the Czech Agriculture Food Inspection Authority told just-food.
Czech legislation requires at least 35 grams of fruit per 100 grams of regular jam and it must also be clear which fruits have been used to manufacture the product.
In spot-checks on jams, inspectors discovered five non-complying jams from 14 samples taken. Based upon these results, the Inspection Authority banned sale of almost three tonnes of jam.
