Oh cool, Steve's into ingredients too. Well, I give you Hostess Cherry
Fruit Pies:

"enriched wheat flour (flour, ferrous sulfate (iron), b vitamins
(niacin, thiamine mononitrate (b1), riboflavin (b2), folic acid)),
cherries, water, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean,
cottonseed and/or canola oil, beef fat), high fructose corn syrup,
vegetable oil (palm, soybean), sugar, corn syrup, glycerine, contains
2% or less of: modified corn starch, soy flour, salt, whey, soy
protein isolate, calcium and sodium caseinate, calcium carbonate,
calcium sulfate, agar, locust bean gum, dextrose, sodium phosphate,
cornstarch, natural and artificial flavors, sodium propionate and
sorbic acid (to retain freshness), fd&c red 40, yellow 5, blue 1."

I love that they add a bit of locust bean gum. It adds just that
little touch of je ne sais quoi!

And again, "to retain freshness". That's so good that they pay extra
attention to that. They really love their customers.
