FDA Denies Petition

The FDA denied the petition to name change high fructose corn syrup to corn sugar. The Corn Refiners Association were trying to convince consumers that sugar and high fructose corn syrup were identical. FDA denied this petition saying that "the use of the term ‘sugar’ to describe HFCS, a product that is a syrup, would not accurately identify or describe the basic nature of the food or its characterizing properties."
