Salami Pizza

Barcode 29364831
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Salami Pizza is ultra-processed.

Tasty, but best enjoyed occasionally rather than as an everyday choice.

This appears to be a salami pizza made with wheat flour, tomato, cured pork salami, mozzarella, egg, oils, and seasonings. It is classified as ultra-processed because the salami contains industrial curing additives—sodium nitrite and potassium nitrate—and the product also contains the isolated antioxidant additive E301 (sodium ascorbate). These additives and the ready-to-eat processed-meat formulation are the main reasons for the UPF classification. The other ingredients, such as flour, cheese, olive oil, sunflower oil, herbs, yeast, and salt, are not independently sufficient to make it UPF.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
