Tomato-free pizza on the menu as chefs choke on the price of fruit and veg (theguardian.com) 2 points by montalbano 3y ago ↗ HN
[–] jaclaz 3y ago ↗ >The price of canned tomatoes has doubled, it said, from £15 a case to £30.Not knowing how many kg are "a case" it is difficult to say anything, but on Sainsbury's site canned tomatoes are in the £1.38 to £2.50 per kg range.Considering that on a pizza there could be at the most 100 g tomato sauce, at the most it is £0.25 value.And this is a retail price.So - maybe - the issue is about availability in quantities, but not the costs increase of the canned tomatoes.
