Fire Roasted Tomatoes In Tomato Juice

Fire roasted tomatoes in tomato juice are whole or cut tomatoes that have been exposed to high heat, often over an open flame, to impart a smoky flavor. They are then packed in their own juice, which is also derived from tomatoes.

Manufacturers use fire roasted tomatoes to add a smoky, deep tomato flavor to a variety of dishes. They are commonly found in salsas, dips, pasta sauces, soups, stews, and ready-to-eat meals.

Tomatoes are a good source of vitamins and antioxidants, like lycopene. The FDA considers tomatoes and tomato products to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS). International bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated tomato products. No significant health concerns are associated with consuming fire roasted tomatoes in typical amounts.
