What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the frozen or refrigerated aisle as a ready-made mini pizza for quick dinners, snacks, or kids' lunchbox treats — ideal for weeknights, movie nights, or game-day spreads. The vibe is nostalgic and comforting with an indulgent, convenient twist; the vegan 'mozzarella' and crust are engineered to mimic the melt and stretch of traditional pizza. The lengthy ingredient list of starches, oils, protein isolates, hydrocolloids and anti-caking agents signals industrial reformulation for texture, flavor and shelf stability, consistent with ultra-processed products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives (starches, emulsifiers/gums, protein isolates, anti-caking agents, flavorings) and is formulated to recreate sensory properties rather than being a simple whole-food preparation, which is characteristic of NOVA group 4 ultra-processed foods.
