Wild... i've never bought vanilla with corn syrup listed on it.

My bottle of Nielsen-Massey Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla 
Extract says:
Ingredients: 100% Organic:
Water, Organic Alcohol, Organic Vanilla Bean Extractives

But Nielsen-Massey produces a number of different vanillas, so maybe 
they have corn syrup in some but not others.
