Heinz Tomato Ketchup is my favorite, however the third and fourth ingredients on the label after tomatoes and distilled vinegar are high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup. No wonder I like it.

But now HJ Heinz is cross-pollinating to produce a tomato five to ten percent sweeter than varieties it currently harvests. Keep in mind, this is not a noble move to improve consumer nutrition -- it is a business decision. The cost of corn syrup is up 25 percent, and high fructose comprises ten percent of the cost for a bottle of ketchup. Annually, they'll save millions with a sweeter tomato.

Regardless of intention, it's a win-win to me. Heinz makes more money and we eat less high fructose corn syrup. Even better, the tomatoes are not genetically engineered.
