Reining in Your Consumption of Corn Syrup

This weeks goal will be to not eat any food that has high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).  This is by no means a complete list, these are simply some prepared foods I have tried or others I know have tried that don't list HFCS as an ingredient.

They are not SUGAR free, but they don't have high fructose corn syrup, which frankly, just makes you want to eat MORE sugar.

List Of Foods with No High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Always check the label yourself as sometimes companies change ingredients, so be sure to always verify on the label itself. This list is meant to be a guide only. 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 double-check the label!

Boxed Mac and Cheese

One of my favorite convenience foods.  If you use a box go with Annie's brand which doesn't have HFCS.

Note -  I have NOT checked the Kraft blue box brand since they reformulated it so it might be worth a check but almost all other brands and generic versions are FULL of it. Pirate's Booty mac and cheese doesn't list their ingredients on their website, so not sure, but it's otherwise pretty clean of most "junk"and I prefer its taste to Kraft.

Pretty much any store bought real maple syrup is devoid of HFCS – most “pancake syrup” does not even have any maple syrup in it and is pretty much all sweetener and water and “stuff”
