Wrong values on "Tomatoes, crushed, canned"?

Nosophoroz

I am wondering what stats you are using for this generic product? You have the iron content at 1.3 mg per 100 mg but nutrionalvalue sites lists it at 0.3 - 0.4 mg. Most other values are also alot higher then what other sites lists them. Could you please explain why this is?

Hi Nosophoroz

This data comes from the USDA. This iron value was analyzed for this food. You can learn about our sources here: https://cronometer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018239472-Data-Sources

Crushed tomatoes have a higher iron content than canned tomatoes because it is a mixture of diced tomatoes with tomato paste - so it is more concentrated than canned tomatoes. Try using "Tomatoes, Canned" instead!

Best,
