FOTD: Where is HFCS

FOTD: Where is HFCS

This has been posted in the HFCS area of the site, but I felt it warranted a FOTD post to highlight the places you are likely to find HFCS. 

HFCS is all over! In fact it is quite surprising all the places you will find it. Many common sources include:

  • soda
  • dressings & condiments (ketchup!)
  • many frozen foods (it helps prevent freezer burn)
  • candies
  • breakfast cereal
  • commercial baked goods
  • cough syrups (!!!)
  • crackers
  • dairy – including many yogurts
  • juice drinks
  • drink mixes
  • microwavable soup
  • FAST FOOD!

This is just an idea of some of the foods you will see HFCS. The Accidental Hedonist is maintaining a fabulous list that is worth checking out.

Fast Food Facts is maintaining a great list of fast food restaurant items that contain HFCS.

If you find HFCS in a surprising (at least to you!) place, please let me know!
