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...]

 I'm adding Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback to the list of products with no high-fructose corn syrup, because it was suggested by a reader. I hadn't, before, because they were out as "limited editions." But now they seem to be back on a more permanent basis. ~Sherry - Your No High-Fructose Corn Syrup Blogger … [Read more...]

Cool Juice is the newest addition to the No High-Fructose Corn Syrup list. It comes in cool flavors like 'Tropical Blue', 'Mango Groove', 'Tropical Rhythms', and 'Fruit Punch'. Even the Cool Juice website is pretty cool! It looks like it's only available in stores from the Midwest and down (South) right now, but hopefully they'll expand distribution northward soon! ~Sherry - Your No High-Fructose Corn Syrup Blogger … [Read more...]

Someone commented recently about all the candy she found with no high-fructose corn syrup in it (thank you!) I haven't had time to verify all of them but the one I did look at was Hershey's Kisses - no hfcs of any kind! I say that that way because sometime HFCS is labelled as "modified food starch," so it can be difficult to tell. I'm not surprised there is no HFCS in Hershey's Kisses, as they are not chewy or gummy in texture. In fact, adding hfcs would probably ruin the texture in the case of that product because of its properties. And not all Hershey products are free of HFCS, as Hershey's Chocolate Syrup lists "highp-fructose corn syrup" as its first ingredient! So be sure to check each different type of candy/Halloween candy … [Read more...]

 Today I am happy to add Hunt's Ketchup and Oroweat breads. All of the Oroweat packages I have seen now say "no high fructose corn syrup" on them, but I could find nothing on their site that says that none of their products contain it. So I would still look for verification when choosing a particular product. It's good to have a lot more choices, though, when choosing bread without hfcs!   Your no-high fructose corn syrup blogger, Sherry   … [Read more...]
