Important Notice!!!
Do not trust labels! Especially the highlighted ones on the front label. Read the nutrition label and the ingredients to verify claims.

Last night I had to get some relish for my daughter to bring to school for the end of school BBQ. There was a dill relish which my husband wanted to know if they made...they do! The front label called it tangy. But when I looked at the nutrition label I was happy to see it had one carb, and no sugars. Winner!

The jar of sweet relish next to it had the claim "NO SUGAR!" on the front. Check the ingredients, and the second ingredient is high fructose corn syrup! Please. Do they think we are that stupid. Or are we? Do we trust the claims on labels without verifying?

Not me. Not anymore at least. I am a fiend about looking for sugar in all it's forms in the ingredient lists. And when it is the second ingredient...!!....Don't go and call it sugar free. BTW, it also had aspartame, just in case the HFCS was not enough.
