Corn Syrup

Flagged in 42

Scout's take

Highly processed liquid glucose derived from industrial corn refining. Rapidly spikes blood sugar with zero nutritional value. The second distinct sweetener in this product on top of sugar already in the chocolate.

More from Scout's analyses

Industrial fermentable adjunct (mostly dextrose). Fermented out into alcohol, but signals an ultra-processed brewing approach that lightens body and reduces cost rather than adding character.

from the analysis of Coors Light

A second processed corn-derived sweetener stacked on top of HFCS. Two forms of corn sugar in a single condiment is a hallmark of ultra-processing designed to maximize sweetness cheaply.

from the analysis of Heinz Tomato Ketchup

Highly processed liquid glucose from industrial corn refining. The third form of sugar in this product. Rapidly spikes blood sugar with zero nutritional value.
