Yes — Spinach & ricotta tortelloni is ultra-processed.
The product contains natural flavouring, which is an extracted and industrially processed additive, so under NOVA this makes the product ultra-processed. Other ingredients are mostly basic foods (pasta, cheeses, spinach, cream, sunflower oil, salt), but the presence of natural flavouring is sufficient to classify it as UPF.
Other pasta, rice & noodles Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

The product contains natural flavouring, which is an extracted and industrially processed additive, so under NOVA this makes the product ultra-processed. Other ingredients are mostly basic foods (pasta, cheeses, spinach, cream, sunflower oil, salt), but the presence of natural flavouring is sufficient to classify it as UPF.
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.
