Why does this product contain the additive E330 (citric acid) and what is its role?

E330, known as citric acid, is added as an acidifier to balance the acidity of the tomato base, improve flavor stability and act as a natural preservative, which helps maintain the product’s taste and shelf‑life without using synthetic preservatives.

How does the sugar and salt content in this gnocchi, tomato & mozzarella dish affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 6.3 g of sugars and 0.54 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes a moderate amount of simple carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose levels, so diabetic individuals should count it toward their daily carb allowance, while the relatively low salt makes it less risky for hypertension but still requires moderation within a low‑sodium diet.

Is this product suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No; the dish contains mozzarella cheese (milk) and wheat‑based gnocchi, so it is neither vegan nor gluten‑free, and with 18 g of carbohydrates per 100 g it exceeds the very low‑carb limits of a strict keto regimen.
