Apricot Butter — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Apricot Butter by House Of Webster BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
Marketed as an all-natural fruit spread, but the second and third ingredients are corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup — about as un-natural as sweeteners get.
Why this verdict
- Sold as 'all natural' while containing high fructose corn syrup
- Two distinct refined sweeteners (corn syrup + HFCS) stacked together
- Added sugar likely outweighs the apricot fruit itself
- Pure sugar load — no protein, no fiber to slow the spike
Ingredients (5)
- Apricot Puree (safe) — Real fruit — the one genuinely good thing here, bringing some vitamins and fiber.
- Corn Syrup (concerning) — Refined glucose syrup added purely for sweetness and body; spikes blood sugar with zero nutrition.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (concerning) — Industrially processed sweetener linked to fatty liver and metabolic strain when consumed regularly; flatly contradicts the 'all natural' positioning.
- Pectin (safe) — Natural fruit-derived gelling fiber; harmless and helps set the spread.
- citric acid (safe) — Common acidulant for tartness and preservation; safe in these amounts.
