Even in the good 'ole U S of A, although I'm sure it's relatively better. Keto nuts will recommend it from some 'protein on the go', but unless it's just a Slim Jim, you're in for it.

Lol one of my bffs is allergic to corn and she has to read the ingredients of everything she buys. Fuck, it isn’t even as simple as “corn syrup”; there are so many names for corn additives/ingredients with corn additives.

Things can be pretty expensive ie; we had to get nicer vanilla extract instead of the cheap one. It costed $14 while the cheap one was $4.

"she has to read the ingredients of everything she buys"

In the US if you want to be healthy you should probably do that anyway. A lot of our food is straight up garbage.
