What You Should Know

Found in the frozen aisle for an easy weeknight dinner or movie-night pick, this rising-crust four cheese pizza gives a quick, shareable comfort-food hit. It feels nostalgic and indulgent — familiar melty cheese and a pillowy crust — but the ingredient list (modified starches, emulsifiers, anti-caking agents, enriched flours and multiple additives) and engineered texture reveal industrial ultraprocessing. The processing explains the consistent rise, uniform cheese melt and long shelf-life typical of NOVA 4 products.
