that mercury is contaminated with HFCS is by the usage of caustic soda to produce it. Much of HFCS is produced using caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) which is produced by a mercury cell process.

(2009) that analyzed the mercury content in HFCS from three different manufacturers. As much as 0.570 micrograms of mercury were…
