Is Trader Joe's Organic Tomatoes Crushed Fire Roasted Tomatoes GERD Friendly?

Description
Smoky, slightly tangy flavor with visible fire-roasted char complements a thick, crushed texture, soft chunks suspended in a saucy base. Commonly used in pasta sauces, soups, stews, chili, shakshuka, and braises. Reviewers note consistent smoky depth and value, though some report occasional variability in chunk size and texture between cans.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- organic fire roasted tomatoes
- organic tomato puree
citric acid
Dietitian noteCitric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.
