Basil Pesto Plin, 9 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated fresh pasta section or near prepared meals at Whole Foods — a small package of pillowy, filled 'plin' pasta that reads as an artisanal, cozy shortcut. It feels nostalgic and comforting, an indulgent yet approachable option for a quick dinner or special weekend plate. The short ingredient list (durum semolina, eggs, water, and a trace of citric acid) and minimal additives point to a processed fresh product with tender texture from eggs and semolina rather than a heavily industrial ultra‑processed formulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment
Processed Food
Why this score?
Ingredients are recognizable and simple (semolina, eggs, water) with only citric acid as an additive and sold as a packaged fresh pasta — consistent with a processed food (NOVA 3) that is manufactured and packaged but not formulated with the multiple industrial additives typical of ultra‑processed foods.
