Why is Pulpe fine de tomates classified as processed (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The product is a canned tomato pulp that undergoes heat treatment to ensure safety and shelf‑life, which places it in NOVA group 3; it contains only iodised salt and no added preservatives, colourants, or other food additives.

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

With 6.4 g of sugars per 100 g, the pulp can raise blood glucose levels more than lower‑sugar tomato products, so individuals managing diabetes should monitor portion sizes, while the 0.69 g of salt is close to the average and may modestly contribute to sodium intake for those with hypertension.

Is Pulpe fine de tomates suitable for vegan, gluten‑free and other restrictive diets?

Yes, the ingredient list consists solely of organic datterini tomatoes and iodised salt, making the product vegan, gluten‑free, dairy‑free, and free from common allergens such as nuts, soy or gluten.
