Why does Tomates séchées contain additives such as lactic acid (E270) and ascorbic acid (E300), and how do they influence its processing classification?

Lactic acid (E270) is used as an acidity regulator to maintain stability, and ascorbic acid (E300) serves as an antioxidant that prevents oxidation of the tomatoes; both are permitted food‑grade additives and contribute to the product’s NOVA 3 status without making it an ultra‑processed item.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Tomates séchées affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 9.7 g of sugars and 2.5 g of salt per 100 g, the product can raise blood glucose and increase blood pressure, so individuals managing diabetes or hypertension should consume it only in small portions and balance it with lower‑sugar, lower‑salt foods.

Are the sulfites listed in Tomates séchées a concern for individuals with sulfite sensitivity?

Yes, the wine vinegar ingredient introduces sulfites, which can trigger respiratory or skin reactions in sulfite‑sensitive people; such consumers should avoid the product or check for sulfite‑free alternatives.
