Why is Purée de tomates classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it undergoes processing that adds salt and an acidity regulator; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330), which serves to adjust pH and preserve flavor.

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

With 4.4 g of sugars and 0.35 g of salt per 100 g, the puree provides a modest amount of carbohydrate and a very low sodium level, making it generally acceptable for diabetic and hypertensive diets when consumed in typical serving sizes.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten-Free?

All ingredients (tomatoes, salt, citric acid) are plant‑based, so the puree is suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets; however, its 6.3 g of carbohydrates per 100 g exceeds typical keto limits, and it contains no animal products, making it permissible for halal consumers.
