Beyond the warning about maybe containing bits of pits, the ingredients seem to be fruit and fruit products…
but then under "Product Description:"
"Experience the yummy taste of Dole Cherry Mixed Fruit in 100% Juice^ - a snack that is both convenient and delicious.

Very deceptive!
"Advertised "NO SUGAR ADDED " And "No Artificial Sweeteners " But it has STEVIA a known Poison. I took one bite and became very sick. NO REFUNDS!"
Again, just quoting a recent review.
Plus, it could simply be a review for a different product or one that was shipped in error from the wrong bin or something similar.
Dole DOES offer a "no sugar added" product that has STEVIA, but it's different from the one shown here with 100% fruit juice.
EDIT: I see the additional information now in the later post. Description does indeed mention stevia in water, but notice the box in the pictures instead says it's in 100% juice. The description could also simply be wrong. It wouldn't the first time they cut and paste parts from nearly identical listings or even had the product being sold updated without changing everything. The product for the 'No sugar added' version looks different. Here's a link to the 'No sugar added' version on Amazon. Note they DO mention STEVIA in the ingredients on that product box.

New lawsuit for failure to include Stevia as an ingredient coming soon imo!

Note: "In water sweetened with Stevia Extract" near the end.
It's terrible because in their own list of ingredients for the same item, accessible only via a picture, they fail to list stevia!
The picture is also contained in this deal thread, on the far right.
