GOOD GOOD
Swicy is the flavor trend of the week, as seen with GOOD GOOD’s new Mango Habanero Jam, made with 85% less sugar than traditional jam. The product is made with real mango, contains 5 calories per serving and no added sugar, instead using a mix of erythritol and stevia extract for added sweetness.
