There have been a number of reports in the press and that in-store tomato products have been “conjured up” by some producers through food counterfeiting to make them more appealing in color, taste, texture.

Tomatoes are a key raw material for domestic and international gastronomy, of which about 160 million tons are grown annually globally. Part of this is used to make concentrates, preserves, sauces and ketchups, the production processes of which are laid down in various legislation and manufacturer specifications in order to protect the actors in the food chain.
