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

With 5 g of sugar and 0.03 g of salt per 100 g, the puree’s carbohydrate level is modest and can be included in a diabetic meal plan with proper portion control, while the very low salt makes it safe for most hypertensive diets.

Is the citric acid (E330) used as an acidity regulator a concern for people with citrus allergies or sensitivities?

Citric acid is a highly purified form of citrus‑derived acid; it rarely triggers reactions, and most individuals with citrus allergy tolerate it, though those with extreme sensitivity should consult a healthcare professional.

Is this tomato puree suitable for vegan, gluten‑free and other strict dietary regimes?

The product contains only tomato puree and citric acid, with no animal‑derived ingredients, gluten, lactose or added sugars, making it fully compatible with vegan, gluten‑free, vegetarian and most other restrictive diets.
