The Twinkies on shelves today, for example, have a shelf life of about 45 days, which is nearly three weeks longer than a year ago. Flowers said Wonder bread is being made at that company's existing plants. The 20 Hostess plants the company acquired as part of the deal were closed, Aldredge said. The bread is being distributed in the areas where Flowers currently distributes its products, with hopes of expanding over time. Flowers Foods, which based in Thomasville, Ga., said it reaches about three-quarters of the country.
