, Mr Don Ebubeogu has explained why sugar is added to some tomato pastes by some manufacturers.
He explained that typically, in some commercially produced tomato pastes, a small amount of sugar may be added to balance the natural acidity of tomatoes and enhance the flavour and taste. He, however, noted that there is no standard cap on the percentage of sugar to be added adding that it is the producer’s responsibility to indicate the percentage of added sugar.He advised that consumers need to read the ingredient list on the product label to determine if any sugar has been added and if they are comfortable with the calorie level of the food they wish to purchase.
“Such reviews should not be subjective with the intention to demarket and scare away existing and potential consumers of the brand.
