US Law mandates the minimum percentage of water for each of those above listed
products... other than natural preservatives (ie. salt, citric acid) all are a
pure tomato product unless otherwise indicated (some canned tomatoes may
contain a few basil leaves), except for tomato sauce which since it is a sauce
contains spices and seasonings.

Hey, instead of bitching feel free to produce your own... begin by plowing up a
