Why is Double concentré de tomates classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The paste is produced by removing most of the water from tomatoes, which makes it a processed food (NOVA 3). Its ingredient list includes only tomatoes, salt and citric acid, with the latter listed as additive E330.

How does the high sugar content in this double concentrated tomato paste affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 16 g of sugar per 100 g, the paste can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, which may be problematic for people with diabetes, while its low salt (0.11 g) is less of a concern for hypertension but the overall carbohydrate load should be considered.

Is Double concentré de tomates suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

The product is vegan, halal and gluten‑free because it contains only plant‑based ingredients. However, with 19 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, it is not keto‑friendly, though it provides modest protein and fiber.
