High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)

February 18th, 2009

I can’t imagine too many people are in favor of high-fructose corn syrup outside of the mega-factory-farms (though I’m sure it’s not limited to them) who make heavy use of the corn subsidies and the food producers who purchase it as a cheaper alternative to sugar in the US. It’s the subsides that make HCFS cheaper. While some people have been complaining about it for a long time, others are just now beginning, including the city of San Francisco. There are a lot of natural/organic-y/whole-foods-y products that shun HFCS, but I was pretty surprised to see Bullseye’s new packaging the other day when I was checking out Duc Loi Supermarket.
