Anyone who uses can tomatoes,sauce,paste,pizza sauce,ketchup etc. it would be wise to stock up on tomato products.
because of the heat and drought in California tomatoes are already short going to the canners. It will probably get worse.

just thought you might want to know.

Thank you for the heads up.

You can't keep tomato products for an extended period. The acid in the tomatoes eats the can and they explode. You haven't seen a mess until a can of tomato paste explodes in your cupboard.

My favorite canned tomato brand is Furmano. Grown in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

??? Can you please name your source for this information?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but California has been having an ongoing drought since around 2001. This isn't new information.

Tomatoes are grown all over the country, so even if no freshly-grown tomatoes left the state this season, there are plenty of other sources all over the country.
