And what can the reason be? They pick theyr tomatoes underripe to cut
times on soil and have longer produce life, then add sugar based to
make up for un-ripeness. Thay probably should be using some
anti-acidic to reduce the acidity of un-ripe tomatoes.
Here in Italy it's getting the same, many brands already sell
sugar-added tomato sauce, while the ingredients' list used to read
just "Pomodori, sale" (Tomatoes, salt).
