Barilla Spaghetti — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Barilla Spaghetti by Barilla MUNCH — score 100/90.

Durum semolina, durum flour, and the standard B-vitamin and iron enrichment — that's the entire box. No oils, gums, preservatives, or flavorings anywhere. It's refined grain, so don't mistake it for a whole grain, but as packaged food goes this is about as honest as it gets.

Why this verdict

• Two real ingredients — durum wheat semolina and durum wheat flour — plus standard enrichment vitamins. Nothing else.
• Zero additives: no refined oils, no emulsifiers, no preservatives, no flavor systems.
• It is still refined grain — the bran and most of the fiber are milled out, so the fiber comes from whatever you put on it, not the pasta.
• The Non-GMO badge is a marketing freebie (there is no commercial GMO wheat to avoid), but the food itself is honest.
