7 tsp of sugars per serving
This includes both naturally occurring and added sugars. According to the USDA, every man woman and child in the US consumes approximately 80 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year! That works out to 25 tsp of sugars per day, or 400 extra calories!

More than 12% daily fiber!
Fiber is an extremely important part of your daily diet. Its best known benefit is its ability to help keep our bowels moving. Eating enough fiber will help prevent constipation. The added benefit is that it also plays a role in protecting against diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. If that isn’t enough reason to get a daily dose of fiber, it also helps with weight management by helping to keep you fuller longer. The best sources of fiber are whole foods, not processed foods to which fiber has been added.

Highly Processed!
This product is highly processed. If you'll take a look at its ingredient list, you'll discover new words to add to your vocabulary. Many of theses ingredients are required to increase the shelf life of the product and improve the flavor that disappears when food is not fresh.
-
A naturally good source of Vitamin A
The vitamin A in this product comes from real food, not as a fortified ingredient. This is important because it means you are getting hundreds of additional nutrients from the real food.

Natural flavors added. Learn why
Companies add flavorings to make products taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets. Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Natural flavorings are more expensive to source than artificial flavors, but tend to be better received by consumers. People sensitive to MSG, vegans, vegetarians and those with allergies should pay special attention to the phrase "natural flavorings" since glutamates, animal products or allergens may be the source of natural flavors. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.

Learn about corn syrup, found here
Corn syrup is often used as a sweetener in processed food. It is NOT THE SAME as high fructose corn syrup. Don't be fooled when looking up the amount of sugar a product contains if corn syrup is listed as an ingredient. This is because corn syrup contains 50% sugar, and 50% of another form of carbohydrate known as ""oligosaccharides"", which is pretty close to sugar. If a product has less sugar than you think it should, but contains corn syrup in the ingredient list, you'll know that the missing carbs are those oligosaccharides, not much better.

Cherries are tasty & healthy. Learn more
Cherries are a terrific choice for a snack - fresh, frozen or dried they maintain their Vitamin A and antioxidants. In clinical trials, cherries were shown to reduce inflammation in people suffering from conditions like arthritis and gout. Dried cherries are a tasty addition to any cereal, oatmeal or cookies. Try using them where you might normally use raisins. Frozen cherries are great for making smoothies or baking - just make sure they're pitted. Take note: maraschino cherries are of questionable nutrition value. The added sugar and colorings generally outweigh any benefits. Canned/jarred cherries are fine, just make sure they're not sugar bombs (unless you're making pie filling). Same goes for dried cherries - check sugar content.
