Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Standard defines "jam" (including "conserve", excluding "marmalade") and imposes two mandatory composition floors: at least 400 g of the fruit named on the label per kg of product, and at least 650 g/kg of water‑soluble solids.

It affects manufacturers and labelling choices—producers must formulate, source and test products to meet these thresholds (costs fall on producers), while the text does not prescribe measurement or enforcement methods.
