What it is

Tomato paste is a concentrated form of tomatoes, made by cooking tomatoes down to reduce their water content and then pureeing them. Water is added to adjust the consistency and dilute the concentrated tomato flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add tomato paste and water to foods to provide a tomato flavor and color. It is commonly found in condiments like ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce, as well as in dips, salsas, salad dressings, and mayonnaise.

Health notes

Tomato paste and water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Tomatoes are a source of nutrients like lycopene, an antioxidant. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomato products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming tomato paste and water in typical amounts found in food.
