No is the short answer - tomato food is designed for prolific flowering/fruiting plants, so might be okay to use half strength fortnightly on annuals, but not much good on perennials or shrubs.

To complicate things more, "tomato foods" sold in the United States have relatively much more nitrogen than the ones sold in the UK. Our most common brands (Miracle-Gro for Tomatoes, Grow-More Tomato Food) have formulas like 18-18-20, while Tomorite, the most common in the UK (as far as I can tell) has a formula of 4-4.5-8. So many from the States would work as a general purpose plant foods, while others from the UK would be best reserved for plants that are healthy otherwise, but are being shy to bloom.

My tomato food is 5-5-12, Wilkinson's own, so there's quite a bit of variation even here.
