Tomato Concentrate
Tomato Concentrate appears in 1,625 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer
Tomato Concentrate appears in 1,625 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 18.8% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Tomato Concentrate spans 448 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with 100% Juice; 100% juice; 100% juice when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
448 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 1331 of 1603 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
What else is usually in the same product as Tomato Concentrate
Across the 1,625 products on this site that list Tomato Concentrate, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
