Fresh tomatoes

Why this ruling

Tomatoes are plants. There is no slaughter or animal-source issue in the fruit itself. Halal is the default for plain tomatoes.

Processed tomato foods—especially ketchup and pasta sauces—can add vinegar, sugar, flavours or meat. Judge those finished products on their own pages.

How to verify

1) Fresh / plain canned tomato → Halal. 2) Passata and purée: usually Halal. 3) Open ketchup, pasta sauce and pizza pages for added ingredients.
