Vani Hari on high fructose corn syrup: warns against

Hari’s campaign targeting Chick-fil-A included a demand to remove artificial corn syrup from its food, per Earth911. The campaign worked unusually well: the chain invited her to meet and committed to removing artificial corn syrup, artificial dyes, and TBHQ from its food, plus moving to antibiotic-free chicken.

Her stated reasoning is that these highly processed sweeteners and additives don’t belong in restaurant food, and that a major chain could reformulate without them — as Chick-fil-A’s commitments, in her telling, proved. The campaign is one of her clearest examples of direct corporate engagement: a meeting, not just a petition, producing concrete ingredient commitments.
