What it is
Tomato juice puree is made from tomatoes that have been processed to remove skins and seeds, then cooked and concentrated. It is a thick liquid form of tomato, often used as a base for sauces, soups, and other tomato-flavored products. The concentration process intensifies the tomato flavor and color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add tomato juice puree to provide a concentrated tomato flavor, color, and thickness to foods. It is commonly found in tomato-based sauces, soups, stews, and as a component in processed meals and snacks. Its versatility allows it to be used in both savory and some sweet applications.
Health notes
Tomato juice puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants, such as lycopene. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts found in food.
Allergen info
Tomato is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
