Always with my ear to the ground for a new story, a friend of mine mentioned eating at KFC and made the comment that the honey isn't honey, anymore. Being the diligent journalist I am, and wanting to maintain the integrity of reporting true news, I went to the KFC nutrition PDF site. Sure enough, there is now "honey sauce." I've included the link below.
This is not to pick on KFC exclusively, as there have been many reports of fast food mystery ingredients, and KUDOS to KFC for publishing all this. I did find it interesting that the only three items on the menu that didn't have a list of ingredients was corn, lettuce, and tomatoes, but corn is no longer in it's created state, it just doesn't require labeling. I read that tomatoes were actually the first GMO experiment on record, and I didn't research the lettuce. I don't know the full history of commercial tomatoes, but the record stands pretty clear regarding corn.
As I read the ingredient lists for all the menu items, I was so saddened. I am old enough I remember the Colonel advertising his secret spices that made his chicken so good. Now the PDF indicates the original recipe is still a secret, but many of the ingredients listed also seem rather mysterious.
