What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the refrigerated fresh pasta or prepared foods case as an easy grab for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal. It gives a comforting, slightly nostalgic vibe — like a simple homemade pasta night without the prep — leaning wholesome and convenient. The short ingredient list (durum semolina, eggs, water, citric acid noted) and lack of industrial additives suggest a fresh, tender pasta made with basic ingredients rather than an ultra‑processed formulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are basic (durum wheat semolina, eggs, water) with a minimal additive (citric acid), typical of processed fresh pasta products; this indicates processing beyond home cooking but not the industrial formulations and additives characteristic of ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) foods.
