     This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (which, together with this Amendment, Amendment No. 1, filed April 25, 2011, Amendment No. 2, filed May 2, 2011, Amendment No. 3, filed May 12, 2011 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.

Items 1, 4, 8 and 11. Summary Term Sheet; Terms of the Transaction; Interest in Securities of the Subject Company; Additional Information.

     Items 1, 4, 8 and 11 of this Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

     “The Offer expired, as scheduled, at 12:00 midnight, Philadelphia, PA time, on Thursday, May 19, 2011, and was not extended. Based on preliminary information provided by the Depositary, approximately 6,696,686 Shares (including approximately 103,283 Shares subject to notice of guaranteed delivery) were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, representing approximately 77% of Tasty Baking’s outstanding Shares. All Shares validly tendered have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser intends to exercise the Top-Up Option to acquire newly issued Shares at a purchase price per share equal to the Offer Price, which will permit Purchaser to complete the acquisition process by effecting a short-form merger as promptly as practicable, that is, without a vote or meeting of Tasty Baking’s remaining shareholders. Following the Merger, each Share outstanding (other than Shares held in the treasury of Tasty Baking, by Parent or Purchaser or by shareholders who validly exercise dissenters rights under Pennsylvania law with respect to such Shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $4.00 in cash, or the appropriate fraction thereof in the case of a fractional Share, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, the same price that was paid in the Offer, with Tasty Baking becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Thereafter, the Shares will cease to be traded on Nasdaq.

     On May 20, 2011, Parent issued a press release announcing the results and expiration of the Offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(E), and the information set forth in the press release is incorporated herein by reference.”
