About this product

The primary ingredient, Tomato, delivers the product's core flavor and nutritional value, including natural antioxidants and a rich umami base. Sugar is added in small amounts to balance the tomato's natural acidity and enhance the overall taste profile. Citric acid acts as a natural preservative and acidity regulator, helping to maintain the paste's stability and safety over time.

Sugar presents a medium concern related to excess intake risk, which is relevant for those monitoring their daily sugar consumption. Citric acid has only low-level concerns for oral toxicity and mild irritation, which are generally negligible at typical food concentrations.

Overall, this tomato paste offers a strong nutritional profile with a high safety margin, though individuals with tomato allergies or those strictly managing sugar intake should consider their specific dietary needs.
