Why is Tomato sauce with cherry tomatoes and cheese classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sauce contains multiple processed constituents such as cheese made from milk, salt and enzymes, plus isolated ingredients like lysozyme (E1105) from egg, lactic acid (E270) and another additive in the E14xx range, which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in this sauce affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.4 g sugar and 0.79 g salt per 100 g, the sauce is relatively low in both compared with typical sauces, so it adds only a modest carbohydrate load and a small amount of sodium, but portion control remains important for strict diabetic or blood‑pressure management.

Is the lysozyme preservative in this sauce a concern for people with egg allergies?

Yes, lysozyme (E1105) is derived from egg white, so anyone allergic to eggs should avoid this product, and the label also lists milk as an allergen because of the cheese content.
