What it is
Reconstituted tomato juice is made from tomato paste, which is concentrated tomato solids. Water is added back to the paste to create a liquid similar to regular tomato juice. It is a common way to transport and store tomato flavor and liquid.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use reconstituted tomato juice as a source of tomato flavor, color, and liquid in various food products. It is often found in sauces, soups, dressings, and prepared meals where a tomato base is desired. It helps provide a consistent tomato taste and texture.
Health notes
Reconstituted tomato juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants, such as lycopene. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products. Evidence suggests that a diet rich in tomatoes and tomato products is associated with various health benefits.
