Tinned tomatoes in a 7 month old?

[Babymay1]

Why do you think there'd be a problem?

[Babymay1]

Hi all, thanks for your responses. Just thought there might be a problem cos its tinned stuff ie processed etc as opposed to the fresh stuff that's all. Thanks again

Tinned toms are pretty close to "fresh" beyond having being peeled, put into cans and flash cooked, there aren't usually any other ingredients. Certainly you'll get more tomato taste for your £ than buying fresh. Tomato purée is more worrisome (but still not by much in the amounts used in most recipes) as some brands contain a lot of salt, check the label.
