Jason’s Deli, which operates six restaurants in the Austin area, is nixing high fructose corn syrup—completely.

The Beaumont-based deli chain says it’s rolling out an entirely new menu of breads, dressings, desserts and other items that will all be free of the common additive. Jason’s Deli says it’s already eliminated artificial trans-fats and MSG.

The company has more than 200 restaurants in 25 states including markets like Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Houston.

“Even though this was an enormous undertaking as high fructose corn syrup is pervasive in the food system, we found that removing HFCS actually makes the food taste better” says Rusty Coco, a co-owner and executive vice-president of Jason’s http://paydayintime.com. “We’re fighting The Battle for Real Food as the food industry has gotten addicted to cutting back on quality and cheapening products. Our aim is to serve the tastiest meals at the best prices.”
