Why is Tomato crushed puree classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additive does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it consists of whole tomatoes that are cooked and pureed, then packaged with salt and a small amount of citric acid (E330) to preserve acidity; the citric acid is the only listed additive.

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

With only 2.8 g of sugars and 0.39 g of salt per 100 g, the puree adds minimal carbohydrate load for blood‑glucose management and a modest sodium amount that fits within many low‑salt guidelines, making it generally safe for diabetics and those monitoring blood pressure when consumed in typical serving sizes.

Is Tomato crushed puree suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, and keto eating patterns?

The ingredient list includes only tomatoes, salt and citric acid, all of which are plant‑based and contain no gluten; its very low carbohydrate (3.7 g) and fat content also make it compatible with keto diets, so it meets vegan, gluten‑free and keto criteria.
