Smuckers or Schmuckers?

Well I feel like a schmuck. Did a quick stop for milk & bread but grabbed this on the way by...bright red and caught my eye — so I'm a sucker and a schmuck 😂

Anyway, didn't bother with taking out my phone and opening the Yuka App to scan it...after all, everything else I'd purchased before and knew to be ok. And this said "no added sugar", so how bad could it be? Scanned it when I got home though...and I didn't count on all those additives — four of them high risk!

I think everyone makes that mistake once. Except me. Who’s done that at least 3 times.

I don't know what these food manufacturers are thinking. One of the 'high-risk' additives was artificial sweetener — it's 'no-sugar added'! Strawberries are plenty sweet enough on their own, why add anything?!

Duuuude, And then I learned about the Yuka app. Thanks for sharing.

I've already purged some of the shiz from the cupboards that I knew were likely not great for me. I have been an anti HFCS guy for ever but this shows more of the crap I want to avoid.

Cheers

I am surprised Red 40 is still allowed in a product for kids

And it isn't needed.
