No — Italian Single Grain Spaghettoni is not ultra-processed.
A simple pasta made with basic ingredients—not ultra-processed.
This appears to be a simple pasta made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water. Wheat semolina and water are minimally processed culinary ingredients. The phrase “permitted non-organic ingredient” is vague and does not identify an industrial additive or UPF ingredient, so it cannot by itself justify an ultra-processed classification.

No — Italian Single Grain Spaghettoni by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This appears to be a simple pasta made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water. Wheat semolina and water are minimally processed culinary ingredients. The phrase “permitted non-organic ingredient” is vague and does not identify an industrial additive or UPF ingredient, so it cannot by itself justify an ultra-processed classification.
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.
