Why is Sauce tomate Spaghetti classified as processed (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The sauce is rated NOVA 3 because it is a canned, cooked product made from whole ingredients rather than an ultra-processed formulation; it contains no food additives (additives_n = 0), relying only on natural components such as tomatoes, onions, carrots, oils and herbs.

How does the salt content in this sauce affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.1 g of salt per 100 g, the sauce provides about 18% of the World Health Organization's recommended maximum daily salt intake (5 g), so people managing hypertension should use it sparingly or dilute it with low-salt ingredients to keep overall sodium levels in check.

Is Sauce tomate Spaghetti suitable for vegan, gluten-free or keto diets?

All listed ingredients are plant-based and free from animal products, making the sauce fully vegan and naturally gluten-free; however, its carbohydrate content from tomatoes and added sugar (approximately 4 g per 100 g) makes it unsuitable for strict keto regimens.
