Del Monte Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano:
Ingredients: tomatoes, tomato juice, high fructose corn syrup, salt, garlic
powder, spices, onion powder, calcium chloride, citric acid.

Although their regular Diced Tomatoes have no added sugars. I'm really
just quibbling on this, but beware the seasoned tomatoes.
