What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the supermarket freezer aisle or reach for it on a busy weeknight when you want a quick, comforting pizza — the kind that triggers family pizza-night nostalgia. The ingredient mix (enriched flours, non‑fat dry milk, sunflower lecithin and other industrially handled components) and the ready-to-bake format signal ultraprocessing, which produces a uniform crust and predictable melt, plus longer shelf life (typical NOVA 4 characteristics).
