Why is Chopped Tomatoes in Tomato Juice classified as minimally processed (NOVA 1) and which additives does it contain?

The product consists of whole tomatoes, concentrated tomato juice and a small amount of citric acid (E330) as an acidity regulator, all of which are natural ingredients, so it meets the criteria for a minimally processed food and contains only this single additive.

How does the sugar and salt content of this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 3.8 g of sugars and only 0.01 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides a modest carbohydrate load comparable to the average for canned vegetables and an extremely low salt level, making it suitable for most diabetic or hypertensive diets when consumed in normal portions.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free and other strict dietary regimes?

All ingredients are plant‑based and there are no gluten‑containing grains or animal‑derived substances, so the product is fully compatible with vegan, gluten‑free, vegetarian and most other restrictive diets.
