New Items With No High-Fructose Corn Syrup
New items were added to the list of food products that contain no hfcs. Thank to everyone who keeps sending in their finds!
• Franz Whole Grain White
• Thomas Kemper Sodas
• Special K Original Waffles
• Kashi Go Lean Waffles
• Bull’s-Eye Original Barbeque Sauce
I’m always pleased when we can add new items to the list, but I’m especially pleased when someone write in that the product explicitly stated “No high-fructose corn syrup” right on the the front of the package! It means they’re starting to listen!
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.
Three Additions Today
Under “Beverages” we have Blue Sky Soft Drinks and Archer Farms brand Natural Italian soda.
And under “Bread” we have Franz “McKenzie Farms” Old Fashioned Buttermilk Bread
Continued thanks to everyone who writes in! I can personally vouch for tastiness of the McKenzie Farms bread. The more natural a product is, the closer to homemade it seems to taste. This bread is good for sandwiches and especially toast!
Newest Finds: A Lot of Additions
The first two additions are finds by me:
- Kellogg’s Reduced Sugar Froot Loops
- Capri Sun ALL NATURAL 100% Juice
The rest of the additions were sent in by reader Jennifer a.k.a. Tiger of http://www.tigertorreart.com/ . Thanks, Tiger!
- Vermont Bread Company breads

- Trader Joe’s Reduced Sugar Organic Strawberry Preserves
- Trader Joe’s Hot and Sweet Mustard - an excellent honey mustard

Be sure to send in any of your finds! The more who contribute, the better the list! I’ll even include a link your website, if you have one. And be sure to sign up for the RSS feed by e-mail so you can be alerted to new additions!
Thank you to everyone who has made this list so significant!
Newest Find: Kashi’s TLC (Tasty Little Crackers)
Thank you to reader Emily for alerting us all to a new non-hfcs find: Kashi’s TLC (Tasty Little Crackers). It’s amazing to me how many crackers actually have high-fructose corn syrup in them.
If you find something to go on the list, please use the contact tab to share it with all of us. The more eyes watching for these types of items, the better! In the near future I plan to set up a searchable database to make it easier to find what you are looking for here. In the meantime, at least the foods with no high-fructose corn syrup list is categorized.
Newest Find: Sweet Leaf Tea
Sweet Leaf Tea does not use high-fructose corn syrup in their tea, they use sugar! Plus they have a totally cute website and a (very subudued but vehement) rant about using sugar and good ingredients over using cost-cutting ingredients.
New Items on the No HFCS List
I don’t have an e-mail alert system or anything. But I did sign up for FeedBurner’s widget that can get RSS feeds delivered right to your e-mail.
So whenever I add anything to the No HFCS list, I’ll make a blog post announcing it so it can go out on the feeds. The ‘Subscribe’ box is right over there on the right.
Also, if you have any to add to the list, just click on the “Contact” tab. Thanks!
