Canned tomato puree is defined in the Standards of Identify for Tomato Concentrates. It must contain a minimum of 8% natural tomato soluble solids (NTSS). The USDA goes on to define puree concentrations as shown:

  • Light Puree: 8% to 10.2%
  • Medium Puree: 10.2% to 11.3%
  • Heavy Puree: 11.3% to 15.0%
  • Extra Heavy Puree: 15.0% to 24.0%

THANK YOU! This team is exceptional. I write to suppliers all day long asking for information and have done so for years throughout my career, but honestly One Source are the first people who have ever sent me a complete packet of information with all requested documents attached that are not only labeled clearly, but that are also dated within the last year.  Thank you so very much!  It’s the simple things that make our jobs easy, but it’s working with people like you that is truly a blessing!
