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, with a handwritten-style label, gingham-patterned ("motif Vichy") lid,[2] and a name meaning "granny".[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.[5]

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.[6]
