The ingredient list consists entirely of basic culinary ingredients and minimally processed foods: wheat flour, pumpkin, egg, semolina, cheeses, cream, butter, pine nuts, salt, sage, yeast. The only additive-like item, citric acid, is a basic acidity regulator considered a common food additive, not enough on its own to classify the whole product as ultra-processed under the given rules.

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.
