Nadia B Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I believe it depends on ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Nadia ia correct. It depends on the ingredients. I bought some just yesterday. San Marzano tomatoes and salt. Some contain citric acid which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franco Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 thanks alot of recipes call for tomato paste and are whole 30 approved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthioGourmande Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi Franco! The trader joe's brands (much cheaper) and the ones at whole foods (organic) are whole 30 compliant....Hunt's brand has natural flavors so I am avoiding those for my whole 30. However, Hunt's diced tomatoes have no natural flavors and I am using those for recipes. Hope this helps! Happy cooking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah just check ingredient lists. I buy tomato paste and eat it straight up (but that's a different thread, possibly under the "food with no brakes" category ). The brands I buy, right from the regular grocery store, list tomatoes and salt as the only ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley417 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Costco has an organic tomato paste. Kirkland brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I just checked my Amore tomato paste this morning as I was planning dinner. It did not have the ingredients listed, so I checked their website. Only tomatoes and salt so I will be using it in dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosemary_radical Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The tomato paste I have just lists concentrated tomato as the one ingredient, is that Ok? Also, are we allowed tinned tomato? Ingredients: Organic Tomato, Organic Tomato Juice, Acidity Regulator (citric acid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanj2870 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I was very disappointed to see that Contadina tomato paste with Italian Herbs has both sugar and soybean oil. Label also says CONAINS MILK. Moving on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
