What it is
Strawberry spread is a sweet spread made from strawberries, sugar, and often pectin, a gelling agent. It is typically made by cooking down strawberries with sugar until thickened. The process concentrates the fruit flavor and creates a spreadable consistency.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use strawberry spread as a flavoring and sweetening ingredient. Its fruity taste and texture make it popular in baked goods like cookies, pastries, and muffins. It is also commonly found in sandwich cookies, snack bars, and as a topping for breakfast items.
Health notes
Strawberry spread is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of fruit and sugar, and at typical consumption levels, it does not pose health risks. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit preparations. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from moderate consumption.
Allergen info
Strawberry spread is not derived from any of the nine major FDA allergens. It does not contain gluten.
