Household Ingredients Compared › Macaroni and Lasagne (Singapore)
Plain macaroni and plain lasagne sheets are the same one-ingredient product in two shapes: durum wheat semolina. The page splits three ways from there — organic macaroni (Alce Nero, still just semolina, certified organic), lasagne sheets with and without egg (San Remo's fresh sheet has 12% egg; its instant and wholemeal sheets have none), and the flavoured instant macaroni kits (Knorr Quick Serve, Tesco Pasta & Sauce), where the macaroni is a minority of a long list of soup powder, flavour enhancers, sugar and flavourings.
This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed, and flags added sugar and allergens.

All figures are per 100g, as sold (dried, uncooked). Plain macaroni rows are absent: no per-100g nutrition was retrieved for Barilla Maccheroni, Chifferi Elbows or Alce Nero Organic Macaroni. The rows below are the lasagne sheets (brand-site nutrition) and the flavoured kits have no retrieved nutrition either.
Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Where a source printed salt only, the sodium figure is salt ÷ 2.5 and is flagged as computed.
Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar.
Click a column header to sort low-to-high, click again for high-to-low. Rows marked "not stated" always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours. No Nutri-Grade applies to these foods as non-drinks, and none is quoted or assigned here.
