Corn syrup

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Karo Corn syrup scores 95/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Karo Corn syrup lists 1 ingredient, starting with Glucose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 95/100 Karo Corn syrup sits in our top band, among the better sweeteners we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sweeteners is Rowse Organic Honey at 100/100.
