Scotts All-Purpose Vegetable Plant Food

I bought this plant food http://www.scotts.com/smg/goprod/%23name%3F/prod100078 from Lowe's to put on my maturing tomato and pepper plants that I have already planted in containers. I just used it yesterday and noticed on the Scotts website that this food is "not suitable for container gardening" but they recommended using Miracle-Gro Shake-n-Feed fertilizer for container plants. I understand that in-ground plants and container plants require slightly different things, but I wouldn't think that this plant food would work for in-ground plants and then not work for container plants. Is there something I am missing in my train of thought? Maybe something more complicated than I am realizing?

Anyways, I already have this plant food in my container plants. Do I need to re-pot them and use a different fertilizer or will it be fine the way it is?

Thanks!
