Why is the tomato puree classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is actually placed in NOVA group 3, indicating a processed food rather than ultra‑processed; its formulation includes only added salt, an acidity regulator and citric acid (E330) as the single food‑grade additive.

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

With 3 g of sugar and 0.5 g of salt per 100 g, the puree is low in both nutrients, so it fits modestly into diabetic and hypertensive meal plans, but portion size should still be monitored to keep overall sugar and sodium intake within daily limits.

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

Yes, the puree contains only plant‑derived ingredients (tomatoes, salt, acidity regulator, citric acid), contains no gluten, and provides only 3 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, making it compatible with vegan, gluten‑free and low‑carb/keto eating patterns when consumed in typical serving sizes.
