     This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (which, together with this Amendment and any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute this “Schedule TO”) originally filed on April 21, 2011 by (i) Compass Merger Sub, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Purchaser”), and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Flowers Foods, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Parent”), and (ii) Parent. This Schedule TO relates to the offer (the “Offer”) by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of Tasty Baking Company, a Pennsylvania corporation (“Tasty Baking”), at a purchase price of $4.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”) net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 21, 2011 (which, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

     The items of the Schedule TO set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment.

Item 11. Additional Information.

     Section (a)(5) of Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     The information set forth in “Section 16. Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the first sentence of the first paragraph under the heading “General” and by inserting the following paragraph in its place.

     On April 21, 2011, Julie Michelsen and Tim Enochs filed a purported class action in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania against Tasty Baking, its directors, Parent and Flowers Bakeries, in connection with the proposed Merger. The lawsuit also alleges a derivative claim on behalf of Tasty Baking. This complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached and/or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties owed to Tasty Baking by its directors. Plaintiffs claim that the sale of Tasty Baking was accomplished through an allegedly unfair and inadequate process and that certain defendants engaged in the waste of Tasty Baking assets. The suit seeks equitable relief that would delay or enjoin the Merger based on allegations regarding the process by which offers or potential offers were evaluated by Tasty Baking, damages to the plaintiffs based upon alleged improper benefits received by defendants and attorney fees and expenses. Parent believes the allegations are without merit, and is defending the actions vigorously. The absence of an injunction or court order preventing the consummation of the transaction is a condition to Parent’s obligation to complete the Offer pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Item 12. Exhibits.

     Item 12 of this Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibits thereto:

Exhibit No.		Description
(d)(2)		Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2011, between Tasty Baking Company and Flowers Foods, Inc. (incorporated by reference to Exhibit (e)(3) to the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Tasty Baking Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2011)
