Labeling rules
- The Food Labeling Standards (Appended Table 3) define concentrated tomato with a salt-free soluble solids content of less than 24% as “トマトピューレー” (tomato puree), and 24% or more as “トマトペースト” (tomato paste). Paste is the more concentrated of the two.
- Tomato ketchup is concentrated tomato seasoned with salt, spices, vinegar, sugars, and onion or garlic, with soluble solids of 25% or more, among other conditions (Appended Table 3).
- Fresh or frozen vegetables can be grouped together as “野菜” (vegetables) in the ingredient list, but tomato paste cannot be included in “野菜” (the Consumer Affairs Agency's Q&A on the Food Labeling Standards, 加工-58).
