Carbonara Sauce: (Cream (Cream And Less Then 2% Of Carrageenan, Mono-Diglycerides, Cellulose, Gum, Plysorbate 80))): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Eggs (Whole Eggs, Citric Acid (To Preserve Color)2%, Grated Parmesan Cheese (Part Skimmed Pasteurized Cow'S Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Rennet), Modified Cornstarch, Salt, Flavouring)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
