Take a look at the ingredient list in fine print below the nutrition
label. You will see that it lists high fructose corn syrup, salt, and
vanilla. Having spent time as a professional baker, I know that salt
will impede yeast activity. The vanilla may add flavors you don't want.
Ordinary granulated table sugar will work just fine for priming. Use
the same amount as you would with corn sugar.
