Sundried Tomato Powder

Sun-dried tomato powder is made from tomatoes that have been dried in the sun or by mechanical means. The dried tomatoes are then ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates the tomato flavor and aroma.

Manufacturers use sun-dried tomato powder to add a concentrated tomato flavor and a reddish-brown color to foods. It is often found in savory products like crackers, biscuits, snack mixes, pasta sauces, and seasonings.

Sun-dried tomato powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants naturally found in tomatoes. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomato products, but specific evaluations for sun-dried tomato powder as an isolated ingredient may vary. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
