No — Orzo by Napolina is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is made only from durum wheat semolina, a basic culinary ingredient that has been milled but not industrially formulated with additives or isolated compounds. It does not contain industrial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or other markers of ultra-processing, so it is not considered an ultra-processed food under NOVA.
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.
