I believe that any cans containing tomatoes are coated on the inside. Also, canned tomatoes are vine ripened - as opposed to most tomatoes you buy which are picked somewhat green so they stand up to the handling. While enzymes may be lost, minerals are not lost. You can do worse than canned tomatoes... Dan

Doris ***Two things that keep me from purchasing this product...one..it is often packaged in aluminum containers..an acid substance sitting for heaven knows how long in and aluminum container...yum. not. Also when fruits or veggies are juiced they need to be ingested quickly or they begin to loose their nutritional value .
