Burger King says tomatoes on 'vacation' as India battles food inflation
Burger King has scrapped tomatoes from its wraps and burgers in many Indian outlets after prices more than quadrupled, the latest symptom of surging food inflation that is hitting consumers hard across the world's most populous nation.

No, it's a vegetable smoothie, get it right.
It's not
Tomato sauce is produced in the hot months, sterilized, and stored in large aseptic containers to be used all year long, or more. This summer's inflation isn't inside the sauce yet.
Tomatoes also ship like crap, so the stuff coming online in America and Mexico right now is not going to be served in India in any way shape or form.
Even when tomatoes are supposed to be in season they are somehow still shipped unripe to supermarkets.
The unripe ones are firmer and can handle long truck rides a bit better
they dont produce with FRESH tomatoes.
plus half of it is oil.
