The can is BPA free, but is it also free from bps, phthalates, and other hormone disrupters?

Unlike in 2012, when Muir Glen's inner can lining was white plastic (containing BPA), Muir Glen's inner can lining is now shiny, metallic copper that is coated with transparent, clear, vinyl plastic. Contadina and many other brands of canned tomato products are buying their cans from the same manufacturer and using the exact same inner can lining as Muir Glen. Vinyl has been shown to sometimes contain cancer-causing nitrosamines and sometimes not. Phthalates are in most of the plastics that we use every day, including vinyl plastic products:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhthalateThe big picture is that people who eat tomato products regularly will have about a 20% lower risk of developing more than a dozen killer diseases compared to people who don't eat tomato products regularly. Because the beneficial carotenoid, lycopene, becomes much more bioavailable in cooked and canned tomato products than in fresh tomato products,people who eat canned tomato products regularly have been shown in scientific studies to have a just slightly lower risk of developing diseases than people who eat fresh tomatoes regularly. Thus, tomatoes are very unusual. With people who eat cabbage family vegetables, the people who eat raw cabbage family vegetables regularly live much, much longer than people who eat cooked, canned, or frozen-then-boiled cabbage family vegetables regularly.Also, people who add just a small amount of extra virgin olive oil to their tomato-containing foods will have about a 40% lower risk of developing more than a dozen killer diseases instead of just 20%.With pesticide residues, canned tomato products and fresh large tomatoes are surprisingly low compared to fresh cherry tomatoes, cherries, apples, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, raisins, peaches, nectarines, celery, cucumbers, sweet bell peppers, and spinach, which are all very high:http://nutrition.edublogs.org/page/5/

Can you clarify the number? In the title it says 12 pack, but in the description it says 6. Thanks!

It's a 12-pack (as are other canned goods I've ordered through Amazon).BT

What kind of tomatoes are these? I see the company sells cans of plum tomatoes, and also these--'tomatoes.' Sure wish I knew what type!

Hello - We use Roma tomatoes in our Muir Glen tomato products. Of the four USDA grades for Tomatoes - fancy, choice, standard and sub-standard - Muir Glen uses only fancy and choice. Thank you!

SO, the 3 grams of sugar per serving is from the tomato itself and not something added?

You are correct. A single raw medium tomato contains approximately 3.2g of sugar. One can of this sauce contains a total of about 21g of sugar. The sugar is purely the result of turning 7-8 tomatoes into sauce.
