Yes — Spaghetti n°3 senza glutine is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the emulsifier mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, which is an industrial additive used to modify texture and stability. According to the criteria, the presence of such emulsifiers makes the entire product UPF, even though the base ingredients (wholegrain rice, corn, rice, potato starch) are minimally processed.
Other pasta, rice & noodles Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Spaghetti n°3 senza glutine by GEIA FOOD AS is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the emulsifier mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, which is an industrial additive used to modify texture and stability. According to the criteria, the presence of such emulsifiers makes the entire product UPF, even though the base ingredients (wholegrain rice, corn, rice, potato starch) are minimally processed.
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.
