Bull’s Eye Original Barbecue Sauce Now Contains HFCS

March 16, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Barbecue Sauce

Well, since this is a blog about listing products that do NOT contain high-fructose corn syrup, I usually don't post about products that do unless they stand out for some reason. In this case, a product I show-cased as proudly boasting, "No High-Fructose Corn Syrup" on its label has, sadly reverted to using HFCS. That product is Bull's Eye Original Barbecue Sauce. I noticed that the "No High-Fructose Corn Syrup" disappeared off the label at some point recently. Then I started getting comments giving me a heads-up that it now does contain high-fructose corn syrup. Sure enough, it now does. Big step backwards! It's thing's like this that sent me on a quest to learn to make things completely from scratch as an alternative to relying … [Read more...]

Check out this new way to find products with no high-fructose corn syrup! If you live in an area where you can receive grocery deliver from Amazon Fresh, there is a great new way to find food products with no high-fructose corn syrup! I discovered this completely by accident. I was trying out their service and noticed that I coudl "filter" my searches. I decided just to see - could it be possible? Yes! There was a filter for no high-fructose corn syrup! Woo-hoo! I hope more online ordering at other grocers will follow their lead. I can't image the CRA is real happy about this, but what can they do?

FDA Rejects Ludicrous Bid to Rename High-Fructose Corn Syrup as ‘Corn Sugar’

June 11, 2012 By 1 Comment
FDA Rejects 'Corn Sugar' as new name for High-Fructose Corn Syrup

FDA Says High-Fructose Corn Syrup Can Not be Labeled as 'Corn Sugar' The Corn Refiners Association has outdone itself with silliness (which isn't easy to do after those laughable commercials they come out with a few years ago). They petitioned the FDA to be allowed to label HFCS as 'corn sugar'. I wonder if the the rep from the FDA had to suppress laughter while they told the CRA, 'um, of course you may not'. (See High Fructose Corn Syrup: FDA Rejects 'Corn Sugar' As New Name The FDA defines sugar as “solid, dried and crystallized." Therefore a syrup can't be called sugar. You would think they would have researched the finer points over there at the CRA, but they're not building the best track record when it comes to making good … [Read more...]

Root Beer With No High-Fructose Corn Syrup

Dads Root Beer With No High Fructose Corn Syrup

Dad's Root Beer With No High-Fructose Corn Syrup I know I just made a post about root beer with no high-fructose corn syrup, but I just tried this and it is the BEST root beer I've tasted in a long time! I'm not sure if it's widely available. My local grocery store was selling them individually for a dollar each, with no multi-pack option available. $1 each sounds like a lot and it kind of is. But it's made with real cane sugar, which is so much better tasting than HFCS. And as an occasional treat, why not? I drink very little pop these days, so if I'm going to have a little treat, I at least want it to taste good. And Dad's Root Beer with cane sugar - and no hfcs - is definitely good! By the way, did you know that there is a … [Read more...]

Root Beer With No HFCS ~ Trader Joe’s Vintage Root Beer Review

March 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Trader Joes Vintage Root Beer Has No High-Fructose Corn Syrup

Traders Joe's Vintage Root Beer has no high-fructose corn syrup and it is awesome! I saw it in the store the other day and had to try it. Not only is it sweetened with cane sugar instead of HFCS, the other ingredients are actually recognizable and high-quality as well! It is *so* refreshing to look at an ingredients list and see that the makers of the product actually thought, 'what ingredients can we combine to make this a truly tasty, quality, satisfying product'? Instead of looking at a label and it seeming like they were thinking 'what chemicals can we combine, that are cheap as possible, that will kind of make this taste ok, and how can we disguise some of the more insidious ones'? Actual pride in the product you manufacture? … [Read more...]

Why Does Soup Have High-Fructose Corn Syrup In It?

March 10, 2012 By 4 Comments
Why is there high-fructose corn syrup in soup?

Many soup recipes call for just a touch of sugar, especially if they contain tomatoes, so it's not wholly untoward to add some. But to add high-fructose corn syrup? Sugar crystals help neutralize the acidity of tomatoes, so it is helpful to add some to tomato soups and soups which contain tomatoes. But high-fructose corn syrup is simply sweet - thus causing some soups to contain both HFCS *and* sugar. So if sugar is the optimal ingredient, why does soup have high-fructose corn syrup in it? My guess as to why they also add HFCS is because, in addition to being a sweetener, it has a thickening effect. So a soup can be "thick and creamy" - which is usually an effect of slow-cooking for many hours - without actually having been cooked … [Read more...]
