Organic Tomato Concentrate

Organic tomato concentrate is made from ripe tomatoes grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The tomatoes are washed, sorted, and then processed to remove skins and seeds. The remaining pulp is concentrated, often through evaporation, to intensify its flavor and color.

Manufacturers use organic tomato concentrate to add a rich, concentrated tomato flavor and color to a variety of foods. It serves as a base for sauces, soups, and condiments, providing a robust tomato taste. It is commonly found in ketchup, pasta sauces, salsas, and seasoned products.

Organic tomato concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of lycopene, an antioxidant. JECFA has evaluated tomato products, and EFSA has evaluated lycopene. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects. No significant controversies are associated with its use.
