Solus,
Appreciate the heads up on the sugar and high fructose corn syrup in the off brands.
I knew about the sugar, not surprised off brands use the high fructose corn syrup to maximize profit. I don't use or consume sugar at all, at least not knowingly, so I figure a little bit in a few Craisins won't hurt me too much ;D I mix them in with my homemade trail mix. I also like dried tart MI grown cherries.

I do eat Steel cut oats at home, but on the water I like a quick departure on paddling days. The instant oatmeal allows me just to boil water for both coffee and oatmeal.

I agree the Steel cut are much healthier and taste better but for my personal needs there more suited for a camp day or home use.
