Yes — Gnocchi di patate by Ciemme is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as UPF because it contains industrial additives and processed ingredients such as dehydrated potato flakes, acidity regulator (lactic acid), and preservative (sorbic acid).
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.
