What it is

Grape jelly is a fruit spread made from the juice of grapes. The juice is cooked with sugar and pectin until it thickens into a gel. It is then typically strained to remove solids and bottled.

Why it's used

Grape jelly is primarily used as a sweetener and flavoring agent in foods. Its gel-like texture also helps bind ingredients. It is commonly found in baked goods, candies, and as a spread for bread and crackers.

Health notes

Grape jelly is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of sugar, so high consumption can contribute to excess calorie intake. JECFA has evaluated grape jelly and found it acceptable. Evidence on the health effects of grape jelly consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits from grape components while others highlight concerns related to sugar content.

Allergen info

Grape jelly is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
