Log Cabin®, a family household tradition since 1887 announces the reformulation of its syrup line, by replacing High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) with natural sugar.
“Heritage and history are important to us, as our brand has proved to be a family household tradition since 1887” says Allison Meyer, Associate Brand Manager of Pinnacle Foods. “That said, Log Cabin is the first brand in a long time to bring innovation to the syrup category by removing high fructose corn syrup.”
The reformulation was driven by growing consumer concerns about High Fructose Corn Syrup. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the ubiquity of high fructose corn syrup at the shelf. Several other top brands have removed or looked into the removal of high fructose corn syrup in their products.
“Log Cabin recognizes the importance of offering a table syrup with natural sugar versus HFCS, and therefore we are meeting the need of today’s consumer,” adds Meyer.
Reformulated Log Cabin syrup can be found on store shelves across the country in Log Cabin Original Flavor and Log Cabin Lite flavors. Log Cabin Sugar Free is also sold at stores across the country.

About Log Cabin:
Log Cabin® has been making authentic, maple tasting syrup for 120 years. Did you know the brand was created in honor of a true American hero? Minnesota grocer Patrick J. Towle introduced the brand in 1887, and named it in honor of his childhood hero and true American icon, President Abraham Lincoln. For all of you history buffs, you know that President Lincoln grew up in a log cabin, deep in the woods of Illinois – hence the brand name LOG CABIN, chosen by Mr. Towle to honor President Lincoln. With a history like that, it is no surprise that Log Cabin continues to stand for the most authentic syrup, known for its unique maple taste. There is a good chance our grandfather’s grandfather grew up using Log Cabin syrup. Each bottle contains the time-tested recipe developed to deliver that authentic maple taste unique to the Log Cabin brand. Everyone in the family will enjoy Log Cabin, available in Original, Lite and Sugar Free varieties.

I was just reading your post about how Mr Towle invented the log cabin syrup name. I have a bottle I found a few years ago that I can not find any info on. I thought I'd take a chance that someone on here may know.
I have a strong feeling that it may be one of the first, if not the first bottle he made. But I can't find another bottle like it anywhere. It is about the size of a fifth whiskey bottle and has embossed on it Towle's Log Cabin Maple Syrup. Would appreciate any info you may have. Thank you
I just bought some Log Cabin syrup. The bottle says "No High Fructose Corn Syrup" after I opened it and ate some, I realized that the main ingredient is "corn syrup." Buyer beware that there is corn syrup just not the high fructose variety.
Sad Log Cabin customer
"by replacing High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) with natural sugar"
God, I hate public relations people. The word "natural" is not regulated by any government entity. Crude oil is natural. Would you want crude oil in your food, too?
Even before I found this article, I had noticed the other day in the grocery store that Log Cabin was promoting on the front of all their bottles the fact that there was no longer any HFCS in the recipe. As the other anonymous poster before me commented, the first ingredient listed is still corn syrup. Corn syrup is a "natural" sugar. It just isn't what most people would consider natural (being beet or cane sugar).
I'll just stick with real maple syrup for now.
Corn Syrup is able to be absorbed by pretty much any cell in the human body. HFCS can only be processed by the liver. Definitely a step up.
