1. Juice cocktails
If a juice drink is not made with 100 percent juice, it generally contains a large amount of HFCS, along with other artificial and natural ingredients and flavors. Some examples include: Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice, Capri-Sun Juices, and Tropicana OrangeAde.
2. Soda
Believe it or not, even sodas containing some juice have HFCS. This includes Orangina, a seemingly healthy soda.
3. Breakfast Cereal
Even seemingly healthy breakfast cereals contain HFCS. For instance: Kellogg’s Raisin Bran Crunch, Special K, and Smart Start Healthy Heart.
4. Yogurt
Once again, seemingly healthy foods like yogurt often contain HFCS. Often, it is found in those that contain “fruit” and other sweetened varieties, such as Dannon and Yoplait.
5. Salad Dressings
Believe it or not, HFCS is often added into seemingly un-sweet items like salad dressings.
6. Breads and Baked Goods
Wonderbread, as well as other “healthier” bread products, such as Pepperidge Farm’s line of 100 percent whole grain breads and Sara Lee Heart Healthy Whole Grain Bread are guilty of HFCS use. This is a classic case of ‘HFCS hiding behind whole grain marketing’
7. Candy and Candy Bars
Many name brand candy, such as Hershey’s Watchamacallet, and Lifesavers contain HFCS.
8. Nutrition Bars
Don’t let the word “nutritional" fool you. Many nutrition bars, such as Power Bars, Balance Bars and Zone Perfect Bars contain HFCS.
