HFCS Removed from Chocolate Milk in San Francisco School District

The San Francisco Unified School District has reportedly announced plans to stop serving non-fat chocolate milk made with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and replace it with formulations using sucrose or regular white sugar. Selling nearly 12,000 cartons of nonfat chocolate milk daily, the district agreed to the change after parents complained about the HFCS content. Its supplier, Berkley Farms, plans to start shipping the reformulated chocolate milk next month, although company officials have noted that the substitution will offer the same caloric and sugar content as the old formula and will not make a difference nutritionally. See San Francisco Chronicle, January 20, 2010.
