What You Should Know

You'd find this in the Whole Foods frozen aisle as a quick, restaurant‑style dinner or indulgent weekend treat—think cozy, cheesy comfort food without the cooking fuss. The short ingredient list reads like familiar kitchen staples (potatoes, semolina, milk, cream, several cheeses and butter), which points to real-food ingredients, but the industrially prepared, frozen format explains the consistent creamy texture and convenience that push it beyond a simple homemade dish.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from recognizable ingredients (wheat, potato, dairy, cheeses, butter) with no obvious industrial additives, it fits NOVA 3 as a processed food prepared with culinary ingredients; however, it is industrially produced and frozen, so it is more processed than homemade preparations.
