BEWARE: You Can’t Go By the “Natural” Label When Choosing non-HFCS Products
In what I truly thought was a joke, the FDA has said that, because the enzyme used in the high-fructose corn syrup process is not contained in the final product, that it can’t be said that high-fructose corn syrup is not natural. Or some such vague verbiage that sounds cop-outish to me.
Whatever THAT means, what it means for you is that you can no longer go by the “100% Natural” label if you are trying to choose products which contain no hfcs. Unless the product says “organic” or “contiains no high-fructose corn syrup,” you’re going to have to go back to turning over every product while shopping and read the ingredients list.
That also means that there is the potential for some items on this site’s “no hfcs products list” to revert to having hfcs in them. I hope not. But if you spot any discrepencies, please do let me know.

I’m still trying to find my way around your site and I’m finding items people have sent in but they aren’t appearing on the master list. I have subscribed, will that solve my dilemna?
They’re always looking for a loophole aren’t they? Reading the actual ingredients list seems to be the only way to go these days.
Maybe they figure that anything that doesn’t come from outer space is “natural”. That’s the only way some of their “logic” can be explained.
