Papa John’s Eliminating High Fructose Corn Syrup From The Menu

April 22, 2016 05:19PM
The pizza might be slightly more edible. I still won't shop it for less than $10 fee if closest location.

The next time you eat a Papa John’s pizza, something will be missing, not that you’ll necessarily taste it. The chain says it has eliminated high-fructose corn syrup from its entire menu, as part of its “Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.” iniatitive.

The move is effective today and includes, again, everything: all pizza ingredients, pizza toppings, dessert items, and sauce selections.

“We are proud to announce that Papa John’s is the first national pizza chain to remove high fructose corn syrup from our entire food menu,” said Sean Muldoon, Papa John’s Chief Ingredient Officer. “We’ve always strived for high quality ingredients in our pizzas and continue our aggressive push toward cleaner ingredients and menu offerings.”

The company says it invested more than $100 million a year in its efforts to provide customers with a “superior product.” That includes a promise made in December 2015 to go antibiotic-free for its chicken toppings and poppers, effective this summer.

Then in January 2016, Papa John’s scrubbed its menu of all artificial flavors and synthetic colors. It followed that move the following month with its “Quality Guarantee” campaign, which promised to replace customers’ pizzas for free if their order was less than satisfactory.

I won't shop for less than $18 (my delivery location). Other locations I get between $15 to $30...I used to get more than that but there are some new shoppers in my city that will do them for less. And it's possible the pizza will taste worse than it does now!!!

Interesting to hear. I worked for them back in the day when I was in school.

I may actually try them again. My biggest issue with them has always been that I found the sauce to be overly sweet.

Isn't soda part of the menu? How do they remove it from soda?

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.

If you take the headline literally, this means that the menu itself contains no HFCS.

It's mostly paper pulp and soy oils for the printing. You could eat a whole stack of the to go menu's and consume no HFCS. winking smiley

You'd have plenty of roughage though.

The menu most likely would taste the same as the pizza crust.
If they paid me enough, I would do a shop that was a taste test. It could be buy a pizza, take a menu then video yourself on the phone eating both, then report which tastes better or the same.
