Boysenberry products
Would Walter Knott, the fantastic promoter and first successful grower of a new fruit named after his inventor friend, Rudolph Boysen, roll in his grave at what has become of boysenberry products that bare the family name?
The Knott's empire sold off a theme park and food brand that included berry jams, preserves and syrups to a large food conglomerate known for its use of high fructose corn syrup to make processed foods, often containing GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
High fructose corn syrup, typically a GMO food ingredient is an ingredient in Knott's Berry Farm jams & preserves from Smucker's, who purchased the brand from corporate giant ConAgra. Included are these ingredients: "high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, fruit pectin and citric acid".
Smucker's spent close to $1.5 million in Grocery Manufacturers Association, a coalition of food giants (Monsanto, Kraft, Pepsico, Dupont, Bayer, Dow, CocaCola, Nestle, etc.,) to defeat truth in labeling propositions in various states.
