- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Pasta & Noodles, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 9,228 products we've analyzed.
