Why is Purée de tomates Saveur Basilic classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The puree is labeled NOVA 4 because it undergoes industrial processing and includes added ingredients such as a natural basil flavoring and citric acid (E330), which are considered food additives rather than the original whole tomato.

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

With 4.2 g of sugar and only 0.03 g of salt per 100 g, the product is low in sodium and provides modest carbohydrate load, making it acceptable in moderation for people managing blood pressure, while diabetics should account for the sugars within their total daily carbohydrate allowance.

Is this tomato basil puree suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

Yes, all listed ingredients, tomato puree, natural basil flavoring, and citric acid, are plant‑derived and contain no gluten, making the product compatible with both vegan and gluten‑free dietary preferences.
