I saw some of that in the global i was in last night, it was a small package i suppose a trial size?

May i ask what is wrong with Tomato Pomace?

[Scott_B]

Tomato pomace is a slow fiber. Its used to slow things down so the stool comes out more formed., Basically, its a stool hardener. Also, instead of using whole tomatoes, its just the skins. Basically a by product.

Most of the better brands of food, don't have tomato pomace or beet pulp, which does the same thing.

again, if thats the only thing wrong with the food, its not too bad.
