Am i going crazy or is this possible? I now opened and heated up 2 different cartons , used different saucepans and spoons but as soon as is hot it really smells. Kids say the same so is not only me! Going to throw it out now but honestly!

No need to troll hunt, it s very true, heated up 3 cartons before giving up, i am not happy. I am worried my kids will be sick as we used one box of the same batch a couple of days ago!

Whenever anyone starts a thread mentioning poo people lose their minds. All the intelligence and wit on MN and people still cannot deal with the most basic bodily function.

Could you not have posted this two days ago - just bought some yesterday...

Was planning to use it later - I'll report back

Andysbestadventure · 07/12/2019 14:32

Why would the cat eat passata? Tomatos are toxic to cats and dogs aren't they? Crown Confused

JeezyPeeps · 07/12/2019 14:36

Unripe tomatoes, and the green stems/stalks are toxic to cats, but ripe tomatoes are fine.

I've never seen green tomato passata, so I'm sure it will be ok.
