I just found out that our favorite brand of blueberry jam from Trader Joe's has corn syrup as one of the ingredients. I think it is not the same as high fructose corn syrup -- is that right or is it a case of creative labeling?

Thanks

Not that it's the best source, but it's easy - Wikipedia:

Corn syrup is a syrup, made using cornstarch as a feedstock, and composed mainly of glucose. A series of two enzymatic reactions are used to convert the corn starch to corn syrup. Its major uses in commercially-prepared foods are as a thickener, sweetener, and for its moisture-retaining (humectant) properties which keep foods moist and help to maintain freshness.[1]

HFCS is a variant in which other enzymes are used to convert some of the glucose into fructose. The resulting syrup is sweeter and more soluble.

Thanks for looking it up for me. That is what I had suspected as well.
