What the label is naming
High-fructose corn syrup is a refined corn sweetener. US labels usually spell the full name or, rarely, HFCS. European labels often say glucose-fructose syrup or isoglucose for the related syrup. Those names share this entry. Plain corn syrup is a separate, shorter ingredient so the explanation stays accurate.
Where it hides
Soda, ketchup, barbecue sauce, bread, yogurt, and canned fruit in syrup. It usually appears in the first half of the ingredient list when it is a major sweetener.

Questions
Does corn syrup alone count as high-fructose corn syrup?
