The Facts About
Karo Corn Syrup
And High Fructose
Corn Syrup
Q.What is high fructose corn syrup and how is it different
from regular corn syrup?
A.Corn syrup is a sweetener derived from fresh corn picked and processed at its
peak state of flavor and sweetness. This is in all Karo Corn Syrup products used
for baking sold in retail stores. By contrast, high fructose corn
syrup starts with regular corn syrup, which is modified by
further processing and treated with enzymes to break it into
two different forms of sweeteners, fructose and glucose.
Q.Why do food manufacturers use high fructose
corn syrup?
A.Originally, high fructose corn syrup was developed
as a lower cost substitute for sugar. It is widely
used today as a sweetener in beverages,
bakery products, yogurts, and other
products that traditionally had used sugar
as a sweetener.
Q.What is the controversy about high
fructose corn syrup and why are so
many people avoiding it?
A.Since the early 1980’s, high fructose
corn syrup consumption has tripled and
recently was estimated at 60 pounds
per person annually. During this same
time period, the rate of obesity has also
increased dramatically. Some researchers
believe there is a link between the
increase in obesity and the increase in
high fructose corn syrup consumption.
There are other researchers, however,
that do not believe there is a
connection.
13
Q.Do any of Karo’s Corn Syrup products used in baking that are sold in
retail stores contain high fructose corn syrup?
A.No. When Karo was first introduced in 1902, it contained 0 grams
of high fructose corn syrup. Like the original, all Karo Corn Syrup
products used in baking that you can purchase today contain 0 grams
high fructose corn syrup. Karo will never add high fructose corn syrup
to current consumer products or introduce new corn syrup products
containing high fructose corn syrup.
Q.Do other brands of corn syrup currently contain high fructose corn
syrup and if so, how can I tell?
A.Yes. Karo is currently the only leading national brand of corn syrup that
contains 0 grams of high fructose corn syrup. Many other brands of
corn syrup do contain high fructose corn syrup. Check the ingredient
list on the back of the package where high fructose corn syrup must
be listed if it is in the product. You can also look for Karo’s package
labels that clearly announce “0 grams of high fructose corn syrup.”
If you’re looking to avoid high fructose corn syrup, you’ll get Karo’s
premium quality and performance with a guarantee of 0 grams high
fructose corn syrup.
Look For The Tag
On The Karo Bottle As An
Assurance of 0g High Fructose
Corn Syrup
14
Q.For baking and other recipes, are there benefits of using
Karo Corn Syrup compared to a brand containing high fructose
corn syrup?
A.Yes. In line with the company's founding philosophy in 1902, Karo
believes that you want a product as close to its wholesome, natural
state as possible.
Q.Are you providing recipes and resources for people that want to
avoid high fructose corn syrup?
A.Yes. In the fall of 2010, this totally new Karo recipe booklet was
introduced featuring cookie and bar recipes that are all high fructose
corn syrup free. FAQ’s are posted on our website to provide facts
about high fructose corn syrup and Karo.
