corn syrup is fine, high fructose corn syrup is not. They are different things (and very confusing might I add). Basically here in Australia they legally have to state high fructose corn syrup (or HFCS), if the label says corn syrup then it's fine. I've seen corn syrup on a few things actually however I haven't seen HFCS mentioned munch in Australia although HFCS is more popular in America.
