Yup, HFCS does seem to be in almost everything. I suggest you write a letter to Kellogg's, explaining your displeasure. If enough people did that, maybe they'd consider a line of food without HFCS. I read somewhere on the Boards recently that Heinz is coming out with ketchup that doesn't have HFCS.
The problem is going to be that, as I understand it, HFCS is very cheap for food companies to use, so if they produce products without it, those products are probably going to cost more. It will be interesting to see how many people are going to be willing to pay more to avoid HFCS. (Of course, that argument seems weird if you consider store brands - which I always think of as being cheaper - are NOT using HFCS.)
In the meantime, do check out the store brands or switch to General Mills Rice Chex. I just read the ingredients on the box I have and there is no HFCS in there - I should write a letter to thank them for that.
