Why is this tomato puree classified as minimally processed (NOVA 1) and does it contain any additives?

Because it is made solely from 100 % organic tomato puree without any other ingredients, preservatives, or processing steps beyond cooking and canning, it meets the criteria for NOVA group 1, and the ingredient list confirms that no additives are present.

How does the low sugar and zero added salt in this tomato puree affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The modest 3.8 g of naturally occurring sugars per 100 g and the absence of added salt mean the product adds very little glycemic load or sodium, making it suitable for diabetic and blood‑pressure‑controlled diets when consumed in moderation, though overall carbohydrate intake should still be considered.

Is this tomato puree suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, keto or other specific dietary regimes?

Yes, the product is 100 % organic tomato puree, contains no animal‑derived ingredients or gluten, and is vegan; its low carbohydrate content (≈4 g / 100 g) allows it to be incorporated into keto plans in limited portions, while it also fits well into vegetarian, paleo, and low‑sodium diets.
