Foods without High Fructose Corn Syrup

Anyone else interested in a thread to share foods that do not contain High Fructose Corn Syrup?

I had to search high and low to find a barbeque sauce that fit the bill.  I finally found Jim Beam's Barbeque Sauce at Kroger's (2 T= 20 calories, 0 fat, 5g carbs, 0 protein).  It uses molasses, sugar and regular corn syrup for its sweeteners.  

Also, Heinz Reduced Sugar Ketchup does not contain HFCS (their regular ketchup does) and uses sucralose instead.

That darn HFCS seems to be in everything!  But, starting now, I'm going to try to keep it OUT of my kitchen!   

So, if you know of any other products which do not use this stuff, please share!!

I'm coming late to the party - I only just became aware of the evils of HFCS recently and quickly became incensed with just how.much.stuff. has it as an ingredient.  It's insidious.  I was ranting about it to a friend who asked me why I was so against it, to which I banged my fists on the table and said "Because it's a government conspiracy!!!"  LOL!

One thing that shocked the heck out of me was that I found HFCS as an ingredient in my favorite dried berry blend!  Grrrr and WTF!!!!!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND:  drumroll - I found the same berry blend at Whole Foods - so not everything at Whole Foods is HFCS free.  Just read everything if you are trying to avoid it.

I love this thread!

I recently switched my Rice Krispies addiction for Rice Chex because Rice Krispies contains HFCS. Chex have a few more calories per serving but not enough to keep me from switching.

Over the last year I've looked around for sodas that are sweetened with cane sugar.  There aren't many, and they sell for premium prices.  But if you can find Goose Island root beer it tastes great.

Another way to get fructose-free soda is to make your own.  I used to make my own root beer several years ago; using yeast, cane sugar and Hires root beer extract.  You have to get a capper and bottles, and it takes a few days for the soda to mature. It's not nearly as sweet, has a slight yeasty flavor (plus a little bit of yeast dregs in the bottom of the bottles), and isn't as fizzy as regular soda.  After one bottle you don't crave drinking any more.

This might not be possible for everyone but may be helpful for a few: Some of my friends get their soda by the case from other countries. For example, the Coca-Cola sold in other countries, such as Mexico, is still made with cane sugar. It tastes MUCH better. I don't drink soda myself but my friends who do frequently carry back several cases of soda every time they leave the United States.

Furthermore, it is sometimes possible to get the "Mexican" Coca-Cola inside the U.S. because it is produced in U.S. factories. I know folks in Texas who buy it straight from the factory that way. Something to investigate perhaps...

Fructose is fructose whether it's in HFCS or sucrose......I don't see much point to this thread, unless it's to eliminate all refined sugars...How many examples in this thread of people switching from foods with HFCS to another product that has just as much sugar in them and sometimes more....that doesn't somehow reduce a persons fructose consumption, or make it a better choice........ just saying.

All sugars are not exactly the same.  Fructose, sucrose, glucose, etc. are not interchangable.

Didn't say they were. I said HFCS and table sugar are basically the same thing, so if someone is changing HFCS for good ol' table sugar, their fooling themselves. Better to stay away from refined sugar alltogether.
