I can't remember brand names,

They can be important, though. Some brands here are very bland indeed;
others are rather good.

but lately I have been unhappy with passata
I've bought. It has a cloyingly sweet taste and almost a "used" taste.

I have yet to find a passata that is sweet here. Tomatoes of a certain
brand, whether whole, in pieces, or puréed, tend to taste the same here
and all tend to contain just tomatoes, or sometimes an addition of an
acidifier. Lately, canned whole tomatoes of a brand I usually like,
Sonnen-Bassermann, tended to taste slightly metallic. Tant pis. :-(
Passata here is usually jarred, not canned, so metallic taste usually
does not occur.

Some is in glass and much is in tetrapak here. I am wondering if some
brands are reconstituting a condensed product. Anyway, I just don't want to
use it. It's too bas, because passata with water was my only version of
tomato juice since the supermarket stopped carrying the horrendously
expensive 125 ml bottles.
