Plum sauce....really? Can they actually call it that?

Since I am obsessed with food I may as well insert a little rant here and there on my blog. Which I will do now. I've got some plum sauce in my fridge and a while back (because I am obsessed) I checked out the ingredients. And here they are, in the same order as the bottle: water, sugar (something my body needs anyway!), pumpkin, white vinegar...Wait, what? Pumpkin? Did I accidentally buy pumpkin sauce? Double check the label, nope, there it is in black and white - "Plum Sauce". Ok, its gotta be in there somewhere, keep listing: ....white vinegar, modified corn starch, and finally, plum puree! Yumm! (Sounds like some plums accidentally fell in the vat while they were making their pumpkin sauce) Right there in between modified corn starch and salt. I'm going to start calling it modified corn starch sauce though. Or maybe pumpkin sauce. Lets see how my kids like that. "Who wants some 'pumpkin sauce' to dip their chicken fingers in? Nobody? How about 'salt sauce'? Still no takers? Well then kids, all I've got left is 'modified corn starch sauce' then. Anyone?"
