during my pre holiday shopping. I've been scrutinizing labels for months, but for the first time in years I reached for vegetable broth. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when I read that it contained corn syrup. I was startled to see that some of the quinoa sauce mixes that are in the organics section contained HFCS (or just corn corn syrup).
