Question 1

Why is Tomate-Basilikum Aufstrich classified as a moderately processed product (NOVA group 3) and what ingredients contribute to this rating?

Accepted Answer

NOVA group 3 indicates that the spread undergoes processing steps such as cooking, blending and the addition of refined ingredients. The presence of tomato purée, sunflower oil, sunflower seeds, lemon juice concentrate, and a formulated soy sauce, all of which are combined and heat‑treated, creates a product that is more processed than a simple fresh blend, placing it in the moderately processed category.

Question 2

How does the fat and salt content of this spread affect a heart‑healthy diet?

Accepted Answer

With 30.5 g of fat and 0.8 g of salt per 100 g, the spread is high in total fat and provides a moderate amount of sodium. While the fat comes mainly from sunflower oil, which contains unsaturated fats, the overall high fat load increases calorie intake, and the salt level, though lower than the category average, can still contribute to daily sodium limits, so it should be used sparingly in a heart‑healthy eating plan.

Question 3

Is the soy sauce in this spread a concern for people with soy or gluten allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the soy sauce contains soybeans and wheat, which means the product must be avoided by individuals with soy or gluten sensitivities. Both allergens are listed in the ingredient breakdown, so consumers with these allergies should look for a soy‑ and gluten‑free alternative.
