Why is Tomates séchées classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is classified as NOVA 3 because the tomatoes are dried, rehydrated and preserved in oil with added ingredients; it contains the acidifiers lactic acid (E270) and citric acid (E330) and the antioxidant ascorbic acid (E300).

How does the sugar and salt content in Tomates séchées affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 5.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can raise blood glucose levels, making it less suitable for strict diabetic diets, and its 2.5 g of salt per 100 g is markedly high, which may exacerbate hypertension, so moderation is advised for both conditions.

Is Tomates séchées suitable for vegan, keto, and gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the product is vegan because it contains only plant‑based ingredients; it is gluten‑free as no wheat or related grains are present; however, at 9.5 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, it is moderate in carbs and may not fit strict keto macros without careful portion control.
