Costco's Oreos Are Different From The Ones Sold At Other Grocery Stores. Here's How - Tasting Table

"Costco's Oreos do not contain high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavor, using invert sugar and natural flavor instead, which alters the taste."

"One Costco member noted that their husband, a 'super taster', detected a change in flavor, suggesting Costco's Oreos may have less cocoa."

Costco's Oreos, sold in Stay Fresh 12 packs, differ from regular Oreos by using invert sugar and natural flavor instead of high fructose corn syrup. This change in ingredients may lead to a noticeable difference in taste, as some consumers have reported. While the basic components remain the same, the absence of high fructose corn syrup and potential variations in cocoa content contribute to the unique flavor profile of Costco's version. Some variety packs at Costco still contain high fructose corn syrup.
