Sand,

The labelling of HFCS in Canada is confusing too.

The 'glucose-fructose' label in Canada means "glucose syrups and isomerized glucose syrups, singly or in combination, where the fructose fraction does not exceed 60 percent of the sweetener on a dry basis."

HFCS-42% and HFCS-55% both qualify as glucose-fructose under the Canadian labeling laws. If there is more than 60% fructose by weight it has to be labelled as 'fructose syup'.

See Canadian Food Inspection Agency, 2003 Guide to Food Labelling and Advertising for more information.

There is a good discussion of HFCS labelling problem at the Sugar Association web site.

* NT - Powdered Gatorade has no HFCS. It's sweetened with dextrose.
