Always Check The Label Yourself! I always check before submitting something to the list, but sometimes companies change things, so be sure to always verify on the label itself. This list is meant to be a guide and not a bible. I hope it’s very helpful in finding products with no high-fructose corn syrup, but if you’re sensitive or have allergies especially, always always double-check the label yourself!
This is a list I have compiled (and am actively adding to) of products which do not contain HFCS. These are all products that now seems to contain HFCS more often than not – so I am posting when I come across a brand/variety that does not contain it (last I checked, anyway).
If you have some finds you’d like to share on this list, send me the info, and I will add it here.

My husband is a big Pepsi lover and we were so glad when Pepsi Throwback became a mainstay at the store. Now I can get him a Pepsi for his lunch and not feel like I compromised on our avoidance of HFCS.
Possible new additions to list: I am pretty sure that Hunt’s ketchup and a few of their pasta sauces (not all) are HFCS free. They have “sugar”. We also picked up Planter’s Creamy Peanut Butter this week and it listed sugar – not HFCS.
Love the list and am glad to see it growing. If we continue to resist buying HFCS and get our friends and family on board maybe, just maybe, the companies will listen to us (if they want to continue making profits).
Thanks for the list. I found a soda pop named Zevia that is actually made with Stevia. No HFCS.
I found it in Smiths grocery store. You can look at their web site for the store closest to you that
carries their products. Taste good. Have avoided cola drinks for years. Only drank the others occasionally. Now I’m trying to avoid all HFCS products. I need better eyesight to read the small
print.
There are also several budget stores which have their name brands without HFCS. For example, most of the Walmart, “Great Value” has real sugar.
You can find great ideas on this current site. We have a book which tells you exactly why it is bad for you.
“Gaining Weight?High fructose corn syrup and obesity” on Amazon.
Dr. Dee
I have recently found a new pickle relish with no high fructose corn syrup. It is easy to find because it is Del Monte brand. I was so happy to see that it said “real sugar” on the label.
I like chocolate surup also and was having a hard time finding one with no HFCS. I recently found the Fresh and easy brand but does anyone know a regular brand that they sell at chain stores?
Yes, good old Nesquik Chocolate Syrup. Made with real sugar.
TruMoo Chocolate Milk has no HFCS according to their FAQ: http://www.trumoo.com/trufaqs/
Greek Gods greek yogurt does not have HFCS in it.
Also Kikkoman Soy Sauce as well.
Is there a brand of soft drinks that don’t have HFCS in Ginger Ale.
This list is a great start-thank you!!
I sent an email to Whole Foods, questioning if their 365 brand juices contain HFCS. This is the response that I received this morning:
——————————————
Hello Jonathan,
Thanks for contacting Whole Foods Market. As of January 2011, high fructose corn syrup is not an acceptable ingredient to our quality standards and is not allowed in any products sold in our stores.
If you have any further questions please use our on-line response form.
Best regards,

Thanks for this list. I will keep an eye out for any others to add here. : )
Anyone know of any gelatin (jello) brands with no hfcs?
Has anyone ever be able to get their kids school cafeteria to change their menu to eliminate HFCS?
Paul Newman all natural lemonade!! I have never found any of the Paul Newman products to have HFCS in them, don’t know if any of them do.
Smart Balance All Natural Rich Roast Peanut Butter No HFCS
V8 VFusion Vegetable & Fruit 100% Juice No HFCS I love the Peach Mango
La Fe Dough for Pastries (frozen) No HFCS I found this brand because I love making empanadas and the Goya Brand uses corn additives.
Certified Kosher for Passover Pepsi (Bottle must have White Cap) and Coke (Bottle must have yellow cap) No HFCS or any other corn additives ever due to religious practices. They use cane sugar only.
.
Del Monte canned sloppy Joe sauce – NO HFCS!
Arnold Bread products have no HFCS, nor do their Sandwich Thins. I am not positive about their burger/dog buns, I think they might still have it, so please double-check before using. http://www.arnoldbread.com/
Also, Frito Lay products do not use artificial dyes/coloring. I try to use store brand for savings, but these are two name brands I opt for because I prefer quality. (Hunt’s ketchup, too!) Thanks for the great site!
Hunt’s 100 % Natural tomato ketchup = no HFCS
Just found your list! THANK YOU!
I started this diet last September because my liver was shutting down, dumping enzymes and totally messed up my digestive tract. I’ve reversed all my lab work now and dropped 40 pounds.
Keep up the good work!
Hi Lisa……would you mind sharing with me the no fructose diet you use. If you could give me what you eat in a typical day, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks……
How is this diet working and where can i find it ?? HELP !!! Lola
Could you please email me your eating plan? I’m in desperate need of a diet without HFCS. Thank you
Also, Simply Heinz Ketchup contains no HFCS.
Hi Lisa,
Do you think you can share your diet secret I would appreciate it? I would love to try it out because everything that I am doing isn’t working.
Hello! Lisa,
Will you please share your eating plan with me too, because I am having major health problems. The doctor said I need to loose 40 lbs to hopefull get everything back under control. Thank you so much!
Hi Lisa,
I would love to know the eating plan you are using. HFCS is slowly killing me, or so I’m convinced. Thanks for sharing.
Jeannie
Hey Lisa,
my son was diagnosed to a corn and milk allergy and I am having the
Hardest time finding decent food for him to eat cuz he is 12 and used
To eating everything. I would greatly appreciate if you could help me out.
My email address is kbeesonak@yahoo.com if you could help me. Thank you
Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip no HFCS
DeBoles Rice Spaghetti Style Pasta no HFCS (also Gluten free)
Barilla Whole Grain Rotini Pasta no HFCS
Old London Wheat Melba Toast no HFCS
Polaner AllFruit with Fiber has no HFCS(also gluten free)
Rotel Mild Diced Tomates & Green Chilies has no HFCS
Dannon Light and Fit Vanilla Yogurt has aspartane in it. I just threw my container out. Looking to remove HFCS and all artificial sweeteners from my body. Really appreciate this list and will help to add to it as I come across items.
Smucker’s makes an awesome peanut butter with just peanuts and salt. Since they make such a good peanut butter I was surprised when I bought their preserves once (the price was good) and could taste the high fructose corn syrup.
Also alot of supermarkets now carry the specialty ‘sprouted’ breads which are delicious/made by ‘Alvarado Street’ (that is the name)
I have to admit that I like some ‘Cool Whip’ as a dieting aid..but my son scoffs at it and calls it ‘corn syrup whip’! LOL!
Great list, thank you….. in the past I would keep 7-up in the cupboard for an upset stomach. But when they changed it and started HFCS, I can’t stomach it. It’s been years since I’ve had any soft drinks. I will look at the label on the hansen’s. I do most of my shopping at Trader Joes, read the labels carefully and I grow my own fruits and veggies.
Hanson’s (which I just found today YEA)
triple filtered carbonated water, pure cane sugar, citric acid, natural flavors including the extracts of yucatan manderin and colima limes (for the one that I bought)
Pepsi now has a Pepsi Throwback that is made with sugar. 7- Up has 7-UP Retro that is made with sugar. Both do not have high-fructose corn syrup.
7-UP now makes a “7-Up Retro” that is sweetened with only sugar – no HCS.
hi, thanks for the list. i have an allergy to corn, corn syrup, hfcs , corn oil and other stuff w/ corn. But i have to watch out for some items cause i also have an allergy to oats.
Hi Sherry ,
I love this list you very actively made. But even those products have something terrible in them which will make you gain weight. You need to realize that unless you make food that has ingredients that are not packaged, you are going to be gaining weight or losing your life in one way or another. You need to live once in a while, because restricting yourself this much is insane. Please stop dieting and start living!
Hi, Marie; I completely agree with you. After years of building this list, reading labels, watching corporations go through extreme gyrations to veil and obscure what is really going into a product, I’ve come to the conclusion that nearly all of them just don’t care. I’m very much on a quest to make my own products – everything I can – not just food. And it’s why I’m launching ‘Craving Quality’ – http://cravingquality.com – It’s bare bones for now and only 1 post there. But it’s going to be my newest big project, having grown and evolved from starting/keeping this list. -Sherry
How is this list “insane” or “restricting yourself”? What is so insane or restrictive about choosing the ketchup that doesn’t have corn syrup in it instead of the one that does? Takes the same amount of time at the market and you are eating the same calories.
I think it’s people like you to need to “live”
Marie- food avoidance can be due to allergies and not fad dieting. sometimes when you assume… relax and don’t judge
I agree Amy. I have a son who is terribly allergic to corn products especially high corn syrup. I spend a lot of time reading labels to chose products that are HFCS free. What I find most upsetting is when companies hide HFCS under different names such as: dextrose, maltodextrin, and crystalline fructose. I find this list very helpful.
And don’t forget corn syrup solids, corn syrup, and corn sugar. All the same. Be sure it says sugar. As of now the FDA only allows that name for sucrose, the real old fashioned table sugar that we all ate before we got fat and sick. Dr. Dee
Not sure if you are familiar with Wildtree…but our entire product line is HFCS free! We offer a full line of culinary spice blends, sauces, soups, stews, slow cooker meals, breads, deserts and more! Plus a wonderful line of infused grapeseed oils! All free of HFCS. For more information please check out my website http://www.kate.mywildtree.com and/or my faecbook page http://www.facebook.com/WildtreeKate
Hello,
What about Hansen sodas and they do not have HFCS in them anymore and the 365 brand from Whole Foods. However I notices that the Hansen soda changed from HFCS to pure sugar but then, after a while they change the can. It does say made with pure cane sugar but it more sweeter tasting then 365 Whole foods brand.
How can someone lose weight on Special K breakfast and that the first ingredient of the cereal. What a world and all the external factors that we have to take on plus our own plate.
Producers of gourmet marshmallows called Pillowmellows® no HFCS, natural flavors, natural colors, halal and kosher certified. Many candies w/o HFCS. Largest producer of kosher/halal “marshmallows” in the world.
I’ve been trying to find a hfcs free sweet pickle relish. I always read labels and look for things like hfcs and other artificial sweeteners, along with other not so good for you ingredients. I love this list and will be referring to it when needing something specific. Thank you and keep up the good job!
Trader Joe’s has a very nice pickle relish and no HFCS and No artificial sweeteners. Enjoy and it pretty good relish or you can make your own.
Other non HFC foods:
Faye Greek Yogurt – 2% or 0%
Jello homemade gelatin packs
Ezekiel breads/English muffins
Tandoori Roti/Naan breads
Jambo forzen yougurt bars
Polaner All-fruit spreads
In the frozen foods category, the Kellogg’s Eggo Waffles Nutri-Grain Blueberry don’t contain HFCS. I know they are not the healthiest option, but practical when you are in a hurry. I am also trying to eliminate high fructose corn syrup from the family diet, but it is really hard to find stuff without it. Thank you for the list!
I’m very impressed with your site. Now we need to have one if there isn’t one already for no trans fat, even when it states 0 trans fat look at the ingredients when it says partially or fully hyrogenated oil it does in fact have transfat. they are also coming out with a new kind of trans fat that is even worse than the other & it doesn’t have to be govt. regulated yet. I was shocked this transfat is even in some dried seasonings! It seems to be in almost everything. This is not a natural fat process, it is man made to save money and for preserving. Beware!
