I would really like to know what food manufacturers do to foods that destroy their vitamin and fiber content - or why some canned and bottled spaghetti sauces and chili contain as much as 50-60% vitamins A & C, yet most contain none - especially bottled salsa made with "fresh tomatoes" and black beans contain no vitamins or fiber - just calories........
I have searched all over the web with no luck and I know there must be an honest website out there that has the information - I don't want to buy supplements or someone's book right now - just some honest information

One of the things you have to look at is the serving size. A lot of the serving sizes for salsa are pretty small, like 1/15 of the little jar.

I don't know the exact laws concerning labeling of food components in your country but it might be something as simple as that. Food labels are not the best way to look such things up.

my thanks to Ralf Hartemink - food-info.net answered my question in less than 24 hours of reception - thanks again :-)
PS - just to let everyone know vitamin content lessens the longer food is stored - so if you buy a tomato based product that has 8% or less vitamins, it probably has been sitting around for a long time
