What You Should Know

You'd spot this 12 oz angel hair in the pasta aisle or pulling from the pantry when you want a quick, delicate pasta for weeknight dinners or simple, nostalgic family meals. The thin strands signal an industrial shaping and drying process for fast cooking and long shelf life, but the ingredient list—just all-purpose flour and whole fresh eggs—points to a minimally-augmented, old-fashioned-style pasta rather than an ultra-processed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from basic, recognizable ingredients (flour and eggs) but produced industrially (extrusion/drying) and packaged as a shelf-stable product, it fits NOVA 3 (processed) rather than NOVA 4 (ultra-processed), since there are no additives or industrial formulations.
