Summary
This macaroni product is primarily made from semolina, a minimally processed flour that retains many natural nutrients, contributing positively to its nutritional profile. However, it is classified as a processed food due to the addition of vitamins and minerals like niacin, iron, and folic acid, which are common in enriched pasta products. The processing level limits its score, but the absence of harmful additives or seed oils helps maintain a relatively high rating.
