Why is Ratatouille classified as a processed product in NOVA group 3 and does it contain any additives?

The product is cooked and includes ingredients such as double‑concentrated tomato paste, which place it in NOVA group 3; however, the ingredient list shows no added preservatives, colourings or flavourings, so no additives are declared.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this Ratatouille affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With only 2.5 g of sugar and 0.5 g of salt per 100 g, the stew is low in both sugars and sodium, making it a relatively safe option for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure, provided overall daily intake is balanced.

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

All ingredients are plant‑based and contain no gluten, so the product is vegan and gluten‑free; however, its carbohydrate content (7 g per 100 g) and modest fat level mean it does not meet the strict macronutrient ratios required for a ketogenic diet.
