Yes, it has changed a lot. It’s now made with corn syrup, not cane sugar. It’s definitely got added setting agents, probably agar or pectin. Many have dried powdered apple peel , which ups the fruit content and helps with setting.
The varieties have changed too. Traditional jams like plum or 4 fruits are hard to find.

That’s interesting. No wonder the yanks call it jelly. Plum jam and forest fruits were always around. That’s sad.
Jelly is strained fruit , it’s clear. It’s different to jam.
I mourn the passing of Melon & Lemon jam. Apparently the right kind of melons just aren’t grown anymore.
