Frequently Asked Questions
Does Mutti Crushed Tomatoes (Polpa) contain allergens?
The ingredient list is tomatoes, tomato juice, and salt, and tomatoes are not one of the major allergens tracked on US food labels. No milk, egg, soy, wheat, or nut ingredients are listed on the can. Anyone with a specific food allergy should still read the printed label before cooking, since ingredient details can vary between production runs.
How should I store leftover Mutti Polpa after opening the can?
Move any tomatoes you do not use into a sealed, non-metal container and refrigerate them, aiming to use them within 3 to 5 days for the best flavor. An unopened can keeps well at room temperature in a cool, dry pantry until the best-by date printed on the can.
What is the difference between Mutti Polpa and Mutti Passata?
Polpa (Crushed Tomatoes) keeps small tomato pieces suspended in puree, giving sauces some body and texture. Mutti Passata is strained smooth with no pieces at all, which suits silky sauces where a fully pureed texture is wanted. Both start from the same quality Italian tomatoes; the difference is how finely they are processed.
Is Mutti Crushed Tomatoes (Polpa) imported from Italy?
Yes. Mutti grows and cans its tomatoes in and around Parma, Italy, and ships the finished cans to the US and Canada. This 14 oz Polpa is the same recipe found on Italian grocery shelves, not a version reformulated for the US market.
