Bonne Maman is a French brand of jam, marmalade, compotes, desserts, cakes and biscuits owned by Andros. [1] It is Andros's leading brand.

The Bonne Maman brand was created by Andros in 1971 as a mass-produced product with a home-made feel: jars feature a handwritten-style label, along with a gingham-patterned ("motif Vichy") lid, [2] and the brand name means "good mum/mama". [3] [4]

Andros promotes Bonne Maman jams as being made with "five simple ingredients that could be found in your kitchen" and without high fructose corn syrup, additives, or preservatives. [1]

In February 2021, a story circulated that the brand's owners saved Jews during the Holocaust, but there is no good evidence for this, and the company has declined to comment. [5]
