Why is Double concentrated tomato classified as minimally processed (NOVA 1) and what specific additive does it contain?

It is considered minimally processed because the tomatoes are simply cooked down to a double concentrate and sealed, without added sugars, fats or preservatives; the only additive present is citric acid (E330), used as an acidity regulator.

How does the high sugar content in Double concentrated tomato affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

The 13 g of sugar per 100 ml can raise blood glucose levels, making the product unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its low salt (0.2 g) is beneficial for hypertension, but the overall high carbohydrate load still calls for limited use in these diets.

Is the citric acid (E330) used in this product a concern for people with citrus allergies or sensitivities?

Citric acid is a widely used food acid derived from citrus or fermented sugars; it is generally safe for most consumers, but individuals with a documented citrus allergy may experience mild reactions and should check with a healthcare professional before consuming.
