NOVA 3 indicates the product is made from processed ingredients such as refined durum wheat semolina, added oils and flavorings, but the ingredient list shows no added food additives, so it is additive‑free.

How does the salt level in this stuffed pasta impact individuals who need to limit sodium?

With 0.95 g of salt per 100 g, the product has a moderate sodium content that is lower than the average for similar dishes, but it still contributes to daily intake and should be counted by people on low‑salt diets.

Yes, the dough contains egg (about 2.3 %) and the filling includes mozzarella cheese, which provides milk proteins, so the product is not suitable for individuals allergic to egg or dairy.
