Why is this product classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

It is made from steamed potatoes that are cooked, flash‑frozen and packaged, which places it in the NOVA 3 category; the ingredient list shows only potato and no added preservatives, colourings or flavourings, so it contains zero additives.

How does the low sugar and salt content of this puree affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.5 g of sugar and 0.01 g of salt per 100 g, the puree adds minimal carbohydrate load and virtually no sodium, making it compatible with both diabetic and blood‑pressure‑controlled eating plans, provided portion size is considered.

Is this frozen mashed‑potato puree suitable for gluten‑free, vegan or keto diets?

The product contains only potatoes, so it is naturally gluten‑free and vegan; however, its carbohydrate level (16 g per 100 g) is relatively high, which makes it unsuitable for strict keto regimens.
