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

It is processed because the tomatoes are cooked, strained, and packaged, and the only added ingredients are salt and citric acid (E330) used as a preservative and acidity regulator.

How does the sugar and salt content in this tomato passata affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 3.8 g of sugars per 100 g provides a modest carbohydrate load with limited impact on blood glucose, while the 0.3 g of salt adds about 120 mg of sodium, which should be counted toward daily limits for hypertension, so moderate consumption is advised.

Is this product suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The passata contains only plant‑derived ingredients and no gluten, making it fully vegan and gluten‑free; however, its carbohydrate level (≈3.8 g per 100 g) exceeds typical keto thresholds, so it is not ideal for strict keto regimens but can fit in a balanced low‑carb plan.
