Why is Passierte Tomaten classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and which additive does it contain?

NOVA group 3 means the product has undergone industrial processing such as heating and concentration, but it is not a heavily formulated ultra‑processed item; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as an acidity regulator.

How does the salt content in Passierte Tomaten affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.4 g of salt per 100 g, the purée provides a moderate amount of sodium, well below the average for sauces, so it can fit into a low‑sodium diet when used in reasonable portions, but people with hypertension should still monitor overall daily intake.

Is Passierte Tomaten suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

Yes. The ingredient list contains only tomatoes, salt and citric acid, all of which are plant‑derived and contain no gluten, making the product compatible with vegan and gluten‑free eating patterns.
