POP TARTS
Unfortunately, Frosted Pop Tarts will no longer be available to import due to Quarantine. This is because there is about less than 2% of gelatin contained in the frosting. According to the FSANZ and ANZFA the Full Assessment Report, Section 37 of the BSE Report which explains the information is "no longer current and may be out of day" states that BSE mainly comes from European Cows, and the United States has a BSE free environment in the report stated. We have provided several documents to support the BSE claims that the product is not harmful, but as always quarantine will not accept this and therefore we can no longer import.

An alternative to Frosted Pop Tarts is Toast'ems, the original toaster pastry - you'll find them less expensive, and they have a fresher taste.

We apologize for this and if you have any complaints please send them directly to AQIS, or Kellogg USA.

Thank You,
USAFoods Team.

Why Dublin (Texas) Dr Pepper?

1. it’s the oldest bottler of Dr Pepper
2. It is made from the original formula - using pure sugar, not corn syrup!
3. Soda as we all know isn't the best thing for you, but having soda made with corn syrup is even worse than you might think. Here is a clip from a recent article:

Soda and processed-food manufacturers have long insisted that all sugars are essentially the same. Yet, simultaneously they're delicately backing away from high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as one study after another links the corn-based sweetener to obesity and diabetes. While the market for HFCS declined by 9% in 2008, says Ken Roseboro of the Organic and Non-GMO Report, it was still used in 55% of all sweetened edibles in 2009.

New findings published this month in the journal Cancer Research by University of California Los Angeles researchers could further sour the public's sentiment toward the super-sweet, super-cheap syrup and reduce its use even further. HFCS is 55% fructose and 42% glucose. The study found that pancreatic tumour cells metabolized fructose differently than glucose and that the cancer cells "readily metabolized fructose to increase proliferation." In other words, as the headline reads, "Cancer cells slurp up fructose."

Many other companies are getting away from corn syrup including Log Cabin and Mrs Butterworth Syrups. Sioux City sodas are also made with pure cane sugar.
