Oh! The tubes from Cento, which is a particular good brand, are metal. I understand the acidic substance from plastic concern. Though reducing your own is a good idea as well. If you grow the tomatoes they will be significantly better.
They have that at WalMart! Sounds good, will give it a try.
The case-of-12 description is a little concerning. Its apparently 'Adult Unisex'. Not sure what they think I'm going to do with the paste...
>I guess I'm reluctant to eat acidic stuff out of plastic.
It might help to realize that plastics are extremely resistant to acids. Hazardous Industrial acid products, far stronger than anything a consumer can purchase, are stored in Polypropylene barrels. Generally speaking plastics are considerably more resistant to inorganic chemicals than even specially formulated metal alloys.[1](link even lists the resistant data for tomato juice :))
Additionally, metal used for canning is usually(always?) lined with plastic[2] to keep metals from leaching. Ironically canned foods with bpa liners are one of the biggest vectors of BPA intake we know of.[3]
I just reduce my own tomatoes if I need paste.
