What's the verdict?

• Durum Semolina (Grain Base)Caution

  Primary refined wheat ingredient supplying carbohydrates for energy and gluten for texture; offers some protein but lacks fiber from whole grains leading to higher glycemic index that can spike blood sugar, and contains gluten which poses risks for those with allergies, sensitivities or celiac disease.

• Niacin (B-Vitamin Fortification)Beneficial

  Added to restore nutrients lost in milling; supports energy metabolism, cholesterol management and nervous system health, helping prevent deficiencies like pellagra in the amounts used.

• Ferrous Sulfate (Iron Fortification)Beneficial

  Provides supplemental non-heme iron that aids hemoglobin formation, oxygen transport and energy levels; beneficial for preventing anemia though absorption can vary and excess may cause digestive discomfort.

• Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1 Fortification)Beneficial

  Synthetic thiamine that supports carbohydrate metabolism, heart and nerve function; enrichment effectively prevents deficiency diseases and boosts overall energy utilization from the pasta.

• Riboflavin (Vitamin B2 Fortification)Beneficial

  Added B-vitamin that promotes cellular energy production, antioxidant protection and healthy skin/eyes; helps maintain adequate intake especially in grain-based diets.

• Folic Acid (Folate Fortification)Beneficial

  Synthetic folate form critical for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation and fetal development; reduces risk of birth defects and supports cardiovascular health by regulating homocysteine.
