AFAIK real cinnamon isn't included in the umbrealla of "natural flavors" which are isolated compounds. If it contained real cinnamon it would list cinammon, or at least "spices"

I could be misremembering. Looking at what is probably the product, yes, it says “spices” and also “artificial flavour”, but no cinnamon by name:

Buddy they're substituting lead for cinnamon in applesauce to save a penny or two. Cheap doesn't matter at scale if you can find a way to go cheaper.
Once I bought “cinnamon spread” and it didn’t have cinnamon in the ingredients. The company refused to tell me if “natural flavors” included cinnamon. (I’m sure it did because cinnamon is cheap, but c’mon).
And yeah, a lot of alcohol products get exempted from ingredient labelling for some reason. Should be treated like food is.
