Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Does anyone know, if an ingredients list says " sugar " --what kind of " sugar " it is? Is it cane or beet only...or can it be from CORN?? I found on my pantry shelves (yeah, I know--I should de-clutter those every once in a while!)--some cans of " sweetened condensed milk " .. The dairy part is not the problem, the " sweetened " part is. So many conventional foods, and even vegetarian ones, have corn-derived products in them. I do not " do " the corn stuff. I would like to use up these cans of sweetened condensed milk, (Aldi's store brand, in case it matters), but if the " sugar " in the ingredients list might be corn-derived, I might as well chuck them out. I don't know why I bought them in the first place--probably for some dessert for a huge gathering that I changed the menu for at the last minute. Thanks, if there is any information about this y'all can pass on! --Laura B., in Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 it can be corn...I can't remember what the US says it should always be if it just says sugar. Maybe someone else knows.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 i don't know the answer but please don't 'chuck it' - please donate it to a food pantry or something.
