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 (caution) — Added sugar baked into the crust.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (caution) — The dominant sweetener and second ingredient; drives the sugar load.
- Pectin (safe) — Fruit-derived gelling agent.
- citric acid (safe) — Acidity and tartness adjuster.
