Common questions
Is Tomato paste healthy?
Tomato paste scores 100/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.
What is in Tomato paste?
Tomato paste lists 1 ingredient, starting with Organic Tomatoes. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Tomato paste contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Tomato paste’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
How processed is Tomato paste?
Tomato paste is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.
