I got up to make my Pulled chicken. Got it all ready to
cook and then, to my horror, discovered that I used a
tomato paste that was "Garlic Roasted" flavor!!!!!!!!
Now, I had already added the dry garlic, so of course
I'm worried that I OD on garlic which I'm scared of
anyhow. Then, the can lists tomato puree, High
fructose corn syrup (number 2 ingredient!), veggie
oil, roasted garlic spices, garlic powder, olive oil,
and citric acid and natural flavor. How many triggers
can you find in this product! It has oil (fat), garlic
and more garlic, high fructose corn syrup, plus the
garlic I added. I through the whole thing out!  I
had already mixed the chicken in and everything. How
disappointing. But then I think, I can't throw away 1
pound of chicken and I won't have time to make this again for a whole week.
So, I take it all out of the plastic garbage bag I
dumped it in, rinsed the crock pot out, and rinsed the
chicken in cool water for about 3 or 4 minutes. I then
remade the sauce with the correct, plain tomato
paste...containing just tomato puree. Do you think
this is safe? I still added the dry garlic (only 1/4
tsp) but the chicken was still a reddish color like it
had absorbed the previous paste and oil and fructose.
I don't know if I should still through it out or if it
will be okay...or if I will get sick when I eat it
because of my anxiety over what "might" still be in
there through absorption. The chicken was still
slightly tinted red...so obviously not pure.
Any thoughts? I don't ever eat anything with high
fructose corn syrup, and the oil added 3 grams of fat
or so. Maybe I should just dump it for piece of mind. 
Thanks for all suggestions!

I would go ahead and make it anyway. I don't think the chicken could absorb enough of the trigger ingredients to make you sick. I understand how you feel about the worrying about it making you sick... making you sick. Just try and think about all the time, effort and money you put into the meal and make it and ENJOY it!! you deserve it

but any time I have mixed in anything tomato based that was wrong and tried to rinse away the mess, there was the red tinge.
Let me know how it turns out.
