95% of San Marzano tomatoes are fake

Saw this on Facebook. Reminded me that SD used these on a recent excellent post. This kind of stuff grinds my gears. I'll be looking much more closely next time.

I used to grow San Marzanos from seed for years.  After seeing this I think I'll start growing and canning them myself again.  They're without a doubt the best canning tomato.
