Some brands may advertise “no high fructose corn syrup” on the package, only to have it listed in the ingredients under a different name. HFCS is also called: corn sugar, maize syrup, glucose syrup, fructose syrup, isolated fructose, and crystalline fructose.
To find organic produce in your local grocery store you may need to go toward aisles set aside in a health food area. Many breads tout their “whole grain” status as a way to hide their inclusion of HFCS and harmful chemicals. Whole grain items are usually the best choice, but they are not all equal in quality.

If you aren’t comfortable throwing away the food outright, you can always donate it to a food bank. However, that could also be considered just passing the nutrition problem along. It’s your call.
For example, some sweetened yogurts contain over 40 grams (1. 4 ounces) of sugar, including HFCS. Don’t forget spices when adding flavor to plain foods. Cinnamon, ginger, and even pepper are all good options.
Regular table sugar is another option. However, still try to use any sweeteners, even natural ones, in moderation.
Watch your portion sizes with condiments as well. A single tablespoon of barbecue sauce can cost you upwards of 5 grams (0. 18 oz) of sugar or HFCS.
Check the Passover section of your supermarket. Some soda companies produce a sugar/sucrose-based version of their products around Passover for Jews who are restricted by custom from eating corn during this time.
