Yes — Protein Pasta is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains pea protein, which is a pre-identified UPF ingredient, as well as other isolated protein fractions and additives such as firming agents (potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate) and an acidity regulator (citric acid). These are industrially processed ingredients beyond basic culinary use.
Yes — Protein Pasta is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains pea protein, which is a pre-identified UPF ingredient, as well as other isolated protein fractions and additives such as firming agents (potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate) and an acidity regulator (citric acid). These are industrially processed ingredients beyond basic culinary use.
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.
