What You Should Know

You'd spot this 365 Everyday Value elbow pasta on the supermarket dry-goods shelf — a pantry staple for quick weeknight dinners, school lunches, or bulk meal prep. It feels comforting and slightly nostalgic (think mac-and-cheese or simple tomato-and-pasta), with a firm, al dente texture when cooked. The single ingredient (durum wheat semolina) and basic milling/extrusion and drying process indicate minimal added formulation — more a processed staple than an ultraprocessed product (NOVA hints toward group 3).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from a single ingredient (durum wheat semolina) and produced by milling, extrusion and drying, this pasta is a processed staple rather than an ultraprocessed product; it lacks industrial formulations, additives, or multiple techno-functional ingredients typical of NOVA 4.
