You may have heard in the past couple months that the FDA ruled that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and anything that contains it could no longer be labeled "natural". Surprise, surprise, the Corn Refiners Association has convinced them to change their minds this week.
It turns out that the "synthetic fixing agent for the enzyme used in the process does not come into contact with the high dextrose equivalent corn starch hydrolysate". So all the ingredients it takes to make HFCS are natural, except the major one that doesn't end up in the product, so it's "natural". Even though you or I could never cook it up in our kitchens.
