Why is passierte Tomaten classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

Passierte Tomaten is classified as NOVA 3 because it is made from whole tomatoes that are cooked and strained, a process that changes the food but does not add industrial ingredients beyond basic processing; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as a acidity regulator.

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

With 0.42 g of salt per 100 g (moderate level), the product contributes a modest amount of sodium, so individuals managing high blood pressure should use it sparingly and consider balancing total daily sodium intake from other foods.

Is passierte Tomaten suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The sauce is vegan and gluten‑free, as it contains only tomatoes, salt and citric acid; however, with 5.8 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, it is relatively higher in carbs than typical keto‑friendly foods, so it may be used only occasionally on a strict ketogenic plan.
