I’m seeing the nutritional value thing, but I don’t see what the other comments are talking about…
It’s not honey, it’s high fructose corn syrup
Technically since honey is listed first it should be at least mostly honey, as in 51% or more. But it is probably mostly corn syrup and the phrasing is intended to discourage lawsuits that would lead to anyone checking the ratio.
Which is really bad since only needing to be 51% of the thing is a pretty low bar in the first place.
If it’s not just honey, it’s not honey. Therefore it’s HFCS
Not according the FDA. You can put something down as Honey as long as there is at least some honey in there. Source: https://www.fda.gov/files/food/published/PDF---Guidance-for-Industry--Proper-Labeling-of-Honey-and-Honey-Products.pdf
Surely that logic would work the other way around as well…
Isn’t it honey AND high fructose corn syrup, and with honey being above the syrup it’s mostly honey?
Assuming the label isn’t inaccurate, there is at minimum equal parts of the honey and corn syrup. The list must be in descending order by weight. I’m not sure what the rule is for equal quantities; I’d assume alphabetical, but there may be no such requirement.
