Tomato flavour powder is a seasoning that gives snacks a sweet and tangy tomato taste. Blends like this are typically built on dried tomato powder with sugar, salt, onion and garlic powder, an acid such as citric acid, flavourings and flavour enhancers, and sometimes paprika extract for a deeper red. Some lean more on flavouring than on real tomato, which the ingredient breakdown reveals when it is given.
In the Fashion Food Tomato Flavoured Cracker it flavours a crisp cracker made from wheat flour and tapioca starch. The same label lists MSG, guanylate, inosinate, citric acid and paprika colour (INS 160c) separately, which together build the savoury, tangy profile.
Tomato itself is not a major allergen. Depending on the recipe, a tomato seasoning may also contain milk powder for a creamier note or a wheat-based carrier, which the pack’s allergen information covers.
