Refuse to buy ELF brand herring snacks at Whole Foods
Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 16:45 After looking all round the town for a marinated herring snack that didn’t have High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, I thought certainly that Whole Foods would be able to fill the bill. I absolutely astounded the guy behind the fish counter when I asked him where the herring snacks without HFCS were.
“Oh, we don’t have anything with HFCS”
“Really? Come over here with me…. take a look at this label”
Whoops.
Another guy in the store told me that Whole Foods probably couldn’t find a manufacturer/vendor that made it without HFCS.
They didn’t look very far, since a quick internet search turned up a small company in Wisconsin. They have a product that sounds awesome - made with beet sugar. I suggested to Whole Foods that they contact Baensch in Wisconsin and make a deal.
