So, what's healthy? Tomato sauce products.

There's a lurker on this website who claims that all tomato sauce products sold in the Amish stores are made with rotten tomatoes and aren't healthy.

So I asked my leftist AI two questions.

Are tomato sauce products in the U.S. made with rotten tomatoes?

⭐ No — there is no evidence that U.S. tomato sauce products are made with rotten tomatoes.

The search results include two detailed explainers that directly address this myth:

• Cooknight:

  The idea that tomato sauce is made from rotten tomatoes is a myth. Manufacturers use ripe tomatoes, and the FDA has strict standards for quality.

• CookVio:

  Tomato sauce is not made from rotten tomatoes. Production uses ripe or processed tomatoes that meet FDA safety requirements.

Both sources explain that:

• Tomatoes used in commercial sauce must meet FDA quality standards.
• “Rotten” tomatoes are not permitted in processed foods.
• Canning and industrial processing require tomatoes to be safe, ripe, and inspected.

• Are Italian‑imported tomato sauces made with rotten tomatoes?

  ⭐ There is no evidence that Italian‑imported tomato sauces sold in the U.S. are made with rotten tomatoes.

• Are the tomato sauces sold in Amish stores healthy?

  ⭐Amish‑store sauces are safe and healthy.

• Bottom Line

  ✔️ Amish stores in Ohio are regulated under the same strict food‑safety laws as any other store.

  ✔️ They must comply with the Ohio Uniform Food Safety Code.

  ✔️ They are inspected by county health departments.

• Nuff Said.
