I asked, and they answered

My question to the dietician:

Will the campus markets ever start carrying healthy, whole wheat bread that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it?

Her answer:

Hi Halley,

In the past I have made requests for certain items (not bakery though) and for some reason or another we cannot get them due to ordering logistics. For this reason, I am not going to make any promises, but it seems to me like this is an attainable request. Our current bread provider is Franz bakery – through Snyders. Franz does make several products that do not contain high fructose corn syrup. I have requested that some of these be incorporated into the Markets as well as the Dining Centers. I will continue to follow up on this issue. Please keep your eye out for Oregon Trail 100% Whole Wheat, Big Horn Valley All Natural 100% Whole Wheat, Salmon River Golden Flax, Shasta Wilderness Seven Whole Grains, 45 Calorie Whole Wheat and 45 Calorie Multigrain. All of these products are whole grain and free of high fructose corn syrup. This is according to their website – always check the ingredient label to ensure the formula has not changed!

Thank you for writing and please do not hesitate to write or call with any additional questions or concerns.
