Tomato Relish

Tomato relish is a savory condiment made primarily from cooked tomatoes, often combined with other vegetables like onions or peppers, vinegar, sugar, and spices. It is typically simmered until thick, resulting in a chunky or smooth texture.

Manufacturers add tomato relish to foods to provide a tangy, sweet, and savory flavor profile, as well as a moist texture. It is commonly used as a topping or filling in items such as breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and various prepared meals.

Tomato relish is considered a food product rather than a food additive, and as such, it is generally recognized as safe for consumption. Its safety is dependent on the safety of its individual ingredients. No specific regulatory body like FDA, JECFA, or EFSA evaluates "tomato relish" as a single additive.
