Tomato Paste Product Details

Tomato paste is a foundational ingredient for sauces, ketchup, soups and ready-meals, traded globally in both industrial and retail formats. Exporters in this category supply bulk tomato paste in aseptic drums and bag-in-box packaging, as well as retail and food-service SKUs, to sauce manufacturers, canners, QSR chains and distributors. Buyers focus on brix, colour, flavour, seed and skin content and compliance with specification and microbiological standards.

Specifications for tomato paste include brix level (e.g. 28–30, 36–38), colour (a/b ratio), viscosity, pH, seed and peel allowances, salt content (if salted), and microbiological criteria aligned with industrial or retail use. Exporters operate modern evaporation and aseptic-filling plants under HACCP and GFSI-recognised certifications and can support customers with detailed technical data and consistency across batches and seasons. Retail and food-service packs leverage the same quality base with different concentration levels and flavour profiles.

Tomato paste logistics for industrial customers rely on aseptic drums or bags in cartons loaded into containers, while retail and food-service items travel as ambient packaged goods. Exporters manage bulk handling, storage, loading and documentation, including product specifications, shelf-life validation, health certificates and origin certificates. For vertically integrated strategies, buyers may coordinate fresh tomato and tomato-paste sourcing alongside ready-made sauce procurement.
