Hall of Shame - Campbell’s Soup At Hand Creamy Tomato Soup
A new feature here at High-Fructose High - the Hall of Shame!
When a product that most people would not expect to have a sweetener in it lists high-fructose corn syrup in it, it is a contender for the Hall of Shame!
Today’s entry into the High-Fructose High Hall of Shame is Campbell’s Soup At Hand Creamy Tomato Soup. High-fructose corn syrup is listed as the THIRD ingredient!
Tomato puree, water, high fructose corn syrup…
WHY? That puts 1 serving of soup at 34 grams of carbohydrates (24 grams of which are SUGAR carbohydrates) - according to their own label.
That is, in my opinion, not much better than drinking a can of pop for lunch and popping a vitamin c lozenge. Your thoughts are welcome in the comments section!

Awhile back I realized that many of Oroweat’s products had HFCS in them. I emailed them via their web site to basically say how shocked I was to find it in the list of ingredients on my favorite breads and how I really wish they didn’t use it. I did get a reply via email that actually seemed semi personalized.
Here it is a few months later and in the mail today I get an envelope from Bimbo, the company who makes Oroweat. Contained in it was a letter saying how none of their breads contain HFCS along with two coupons for a free Oroweat item.
I am SO impressed with their follow up and more importantly, the fact that they listened to consumers, even though the HFCS research is conflicting. Let’s spread the good word to patronize Oroweat!
I didn\’t mean to post this comment here… maybe I\’ll copy and paste on the original site or somewhere more prominent where everyone can see the good news! Wassup with that site anyway? No updates in a long time. Hope everything is OK!
