Actually it is corrosive. Many canned goods are still safe after the expiration date, but tomatoes in cans are one of those things you never want to eat past the date because the date was mainly determined by the effects of the tomato on the metal. We can eat tomatoes just fine. But tomatoes and metal are a real problem.
Tomatos and metal arent the problem.
Its tomatoes, metal, and TIME.
Literally what I just explained ffs. You obviously had no understanding of what I posted and had to go look it up. Then you repeated what I just explained as if to save face. Do you know why we don't put tomato in cast iron? Do you even cook?
Tomato is not highly corrosive.

Tomatos are a really weak acid so it takes really long for it to begin to mess with the metal. Its sensible to keep them canned for a duration.
This is why we dont see canned LEMON JUICE, thats waaay more acidic. Or canned vinegar.

Why dont you put tomato in cast iron? So that there's no leeching?
