The ingredient list is valid and contains only basic culinary ingredients (pasta from durum wheat, tomatoes, cheeses, vegetables, herbs, sugar, salt, cornflour, and rapeseed oil). There are no industrial additives (emulsifiers, stabilizers, artificial sweeteners, industrial syrups, flavorings, or highly processed fats like palm fruit oil). Therefore, it is not classified as ultra-processed (UPF) under NOVA.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
