You folks use some British spellings that Americans binned years back, so I
wasn't sure.

Lucky you. Here the corn syrup is cheaper, so they try to feed us garbage.

I'll have to check next time; it's not something I keep in the house.  
Neither is black currant juice; it's a pain to find, and not cheap when you
do.

Like I said.

I have no idea.  I bought some once, but that was at least five years ago. 
It's more expensive than fresh milk or milk powder, and I don't have a real
need for it. Evaporated milk is another product entirely, it comes in cans,
and that I do use occasionally.  My emergency stash tends to be soy milk.
