I was shocked to find Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce at Whole Foods store the other day! Did you know that Lea & Perrins contains high fructose corn syrup!? Yuck! What’s THAT doing at Whole Foods!?
It’s really such a shame. I suppose one could argue that you are using such a small amount, that it really doesn’t matter, but somehow I just can’t get over it!
I looked at the ingredients of Annie’s Natural Worcester Sauce, and I wasn’t 100% convinced that it was going to taste the same. Not that I am a Worcester Sauce aficionado, but it’s missing the anchovies. LOL!
ETA: I guess I am late to the party. People have been complaining about Whole Foods selling products with High Fructose Corn Syrup for awhile.

Now I really don’t think HFCS is that much worse than any other processed sugar product (processed is processed!), but it’s the principle of it I guess. The real problem with High Fructose Corn Syrup is they sneak it into products that you don’t expect!
Really! Who knows, maybe all the hoopla on how horrible it is, is true, so I won’t take a chance. HFCS is cheap sugar, and it doesn’t belong at my clean foods table!
