About CHERRY PIE FILLING, CHERRY
Meijer Cherry Pie Filling is a canned or jarred prepared fruit filling sold under the Meijer private-label brand within the pastry shells and fillings category, available at Meijer supercenter stores across the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product is designed as a ready-to-use baking ingredient for pies, tarts, cheesecakes, and other pastry applications, consisting of sweetened tart cherries in a thickened syrup.
The primary ingredient is red tart pitted cherries, followed by water and sugar as the primary sweeteners. Modified corn starch functions as a thickener to create the characteristic gel-like texture of pie filling. Citric acid provides additional tartness and acts as a preservative. Erythorbic acid (a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid) is used to retain the red color of the cherries by inhibiting oxidation. Red #40 is included as a synthetic colorant to enhance the red appearance.
Nutritionally, per 100 grams, this pie filling provides 118 calories, 1.18g protein, 28.24g carbohydrates, 0g fat, and 1.2g dietary fiber. Calorie density is moderate, driven by the added sugar content. No major allergens are present. Red #40 is a synthetic azo dye; consumers avoiding artificial colors should note its presence. The product is suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets and contains no gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, or soy in the listed ingredients. Erythorbic acid, while listed as a color retention agent, does not provide the antioxidant benefits associated with natural vitamin C.
