High-fructose Corn Syrup - Public Relations

Public Relations

There are various public relations issues with high-fructose corn syrup, including its labeling as "natural", its advertising, companies that have moved back to sugar, and a proposed name change to 'corn sugar'. In 2010 the Corn Refiners Association applied to allow HFCS to be renamed 'corn sugar', but was rejected by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or relations:

    “[The Republican Party] consists of those who, believing in the doctrine that mankind are capable of governing themselves and hating hereditary power as an insult to the reason and an outrage to the rights of men, are naturally offended at every public measure that does not appeal to the understanding and to the general interest of the community.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)
