Why is Tomato sauce for pizza, dough or rice classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is actually labeled NOVA 3, indicating it undergoes industrial processing such as tomato reduction, the addition of refined sunflower and olive oils and a small amount of cane sugar; however, no food additives (E-numbers) are listed, so the formulation contains only the natural ingredients and added sugar and oils.

How does the sugar/salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 5.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the sauce provides a moderate carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should count it toward their daily sugar allowance, while the 0.6 g of salt per 100 g is relatively low and poses minimal impact on blood pressure for most hypertensive individuals.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten-Free?

The sauce is vegan, contains no animal-derived ingredients, and is gluten-free; it meets halal requirements as it contains no prohibited substances, but its carbohydrate content from tomatoes and added sugar makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets.
