Interesting fact

Half The Can Is Fruit

Federal standards for canned tomatoes require the drained tomatoes to weigh at least 50% of the water the can would hold, and the liquid around them is itself tomato — draining liquid, tomato juice, puree, pulp or paste.

Practical guidance

How to choose and store Tomatoes (Canned)

How to choose

Choose cans in good condition. Avoid bulging, leaking, rusted, or deeply dented cans.

Storage

Store unopened in a cool, dry place below 85°F. High-acid foods (like tomatoes, citrus, pineapple) keep 12–18 months; low-acid foods (like beans, most vegetables, fish) keep 2–5 years. Once opened, refrigerate the unused portion; for best quality move it to a covered container. Follow any date on the label.
