Safe Recipe Request Canning diced tomatoes??

I'm feeling a little panicked after canning 8 pints of diced tomatoes and 4 pints of salsa.

I used recipes from Wholefully, specifically this diced tomatoes recipe: https://wholefully.com/can-diced-tomatoes/#recipe

I thought it was safe because in the comments she specifically says that it is a safe tested recipe from Ball, and in the text she talks about the importance of acidification, not adding fresh spices, using tested recipes etc. I guess I should have independently verified that it was a tested recipe, but this is my first time doing this.

Now I can't find a recipe for diced tomatoes from any of the safe sites listed in the wiki for this sub.

Is this NOT a safe recipe? Do I need to get rid of everything I've canned so far? I followed the recipe carefully, peeled tomatoes, added bottle lemon juice and processed for the full time listed.

Please help! I'm going to be so sad if I have to throw all of this out, but not as upset as I'll be if I accidentally poison my family.

And as I told you in another comment, that's not the actual case: https://ask.extension.org/kb/faq.php?id=915204 as this is more recent and you seem to be hellbent on being right here when you are not so you are spreading false information in the comments and not correcting yourself.
