We’ve written before at HuffPost UK about how Jammie Dodgers got their name as well as what their signature heart cutouts mean.
But as surprising as those facts were, I was even more astonished to learn that Jammie Dodgers ― even the ’Original Raspberry’ kinds ― do not use jam made from raspberries.
Those listed on Burton’s site (Burton produces the biscuits) says that it uses a “raspberry-flavoured” version of another fruit’s jam.
Even their cherry and cola-flavoured versions use the same unexpected base.
…
According to Burton’s site, the original raspberry brand contains 27% “raspberry flavoured apple jam.”
I am just surprised that there is anything in there you’d recognise as food.
