No — Mozzarella roasted tomato and basil girasoli is not ultra-processed.
A wholesome filled pasta made with familiar culinary ingredients.
Mozzarella, roasted tomato and basil girasoli are not ultra-processed under NOVA because they consist of pasta, eggs, flour, semolina, cheeses, cream, tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, sunflower oil, basil, salt, yeast, and lysozyme used as a preservative. These are conventional culinary ingredients or basic processing aids, and lysozyme is a naturally derived preservative rather than an industrial formulation that makes the product ultra-processed. No artificial flavours, flavour enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed oils such as palm fruit oil are present.

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.
