What You Should Know

You'd find this 365 Corn & Rice penne in the pasta or gluten-free/alternative grain aisle at Whole Foods — a pantry-friendly grab for quick weeknight dinners or simple meal prep. It feels wholesome and practical, offering a familiar penne shape made from corn and rice flours as a grain-forward alternative to wheat pasta. The presence of an additive (mono- and diglycerides) and the product's uniform shape and shelf-stability reflect industrial processing for consistent texture and convenience, which are typical clues toward ultra-processed formulations.
