Hunt's has removed HFCS from its ketchup. Can the tomato sauce be far behind.
They claim it's for health reasons - which I don't believe for a second (see
second paragraph below). It's a cynical marketing ploy with healthy benefits.

"ConAgra Foods Inc. has removed high fructose corn syrup from its Hunt's brand
ketchup.

Shoppers have been shying away from high-fructose corn syrup due to health
concerns, and it was consumer demand that drove the changes, said Hunt's brand
manager Ryan Toreson.

Hunt's is the latest brand to make the shift.

PepsiCo Inc. removed all high-fructose corn syrup from sports drink Gatorade
and replaced it with cane sugar.

Some nutritionists cite the syrup as part of the country's obesity problem,
though industry scientists and many dietitians say it is no more fattening than
sugar.

Corn syrup is popular with manufacturers partly because it is cheaper than
sugar.

Hunt's Tomato Ketchup has five ingredients: tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, salt and
other seasonings, the company said."
