Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:2 / 4

Processed Ingredients

Why this score?

Tapioca flour is a single-ingredient product made by extracting and drying cassava starch—a milling/refinement step without industrial additives—so it fits NOVA group 2 (processed culinary ingredient) rather than ultra-processed. The process changes texture to a fine powder useful for cooking but does not introduce the multiple additives or formulations typical of UPFs.
