EnglishWhat is the Florida Tomato Committee website?
Updated
floridatomatoes.org is the official website of the Florida Tomato Committee, an organization focused on Florida-grown tomatoes. The site serves two distinct audiences at once: industry participants who need to register and follow regulations, and general consumers looking for recipes, storage tips, and food safety information. Its most prominent current notice is that registration for the 2026-27 season is open.
Who runs the site
The site identifies itself as the Florida Tomato Committee and carries a copyright line reading "© 2010-2026 The Florida Tomato Committee." It also publishes a Non-Discrimination Statement, which is typical of organizations operating under federal or state agricultural programs.

The current headline: 2026-27 season registration
The site's featured message is that registration for the 2026-27 season is open. According to the page, you can register as a:
- Tomato Handler
- Repacker
- Certificate of Privilege holder
Applications are processed by the last week of September or first week of October, ahead of the season start on October 10, 2026. The site directs users to its Regulations page for information and applications.
Who should use this site
- Industry participants — handlers, repackers, and Certificate of Privilege holders — should start with the Regulations section to register for the upcoming season.
- Consumers and foodservice professionals can use the recipes, storage hints, food safety, and health sections without any registration.
If your interest is the 2026-27 season, the time-sensitive item is the registration window; if your interest is simply cooking or storing Florida tomatoes, the consumer sections are the relevant starting points.
