Household Ingredients Compared › Spaghetti (Singapore)
This page is about the pasta itself, not pasta sauce. For most dry spaghetti the answer is one ingredient: durum wheat semolina. The differences that matter are not in the headline — they are in what replaces that semolina (wholemeal semolina, corn/rice flour, chickpea flour, lentil/chickpea/pea blends), whether egg is added (fresh/chilled pasta), and whether vitamins and iron are added (enriched US-style spaghetti). A spaghetti that lists six flours is not "spaghetti with extras" — it is a different pasta.
This page does not give a health score, a ranking, or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, flags allergens, and explains the jargon in plain English.

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: Durum Wheat Semolina. May contain traces of Egg & Soy. Product does not contain Egg as an ingredient.
San Remo / retailer listings (Australia and Singapore, including Shopee Singapore description: "made of 100% durum wheat semolina flour"). FairPrice lists San Remo Spaghetti No. 5 in promotions; the ingredient wording above is from San Remo's own product listings, cross-checked against FairPrice's San Remo macaroni/wholemeal listings which use the same "Durum Wheat Semolina / may contain traces of egg and soy" pattern. Origin: Australia, made from 100% Australian ingredients (brand statement). Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: 100% Durum Wheat Semolina. May contain traces of egg and soya.
FairPrice Singapore ingredient section. Same one-ingredient structure as No. 5, under the "Instant" name — do not assume instant means a different flour. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: 500g · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Durum Wheat Semolina, Water
FairPrice Singapore ingredient section. Described on the listing as "Made with 100% high quality durum wheat semolina". The water here is the dough water, not a second flour — Barilla lists it, San Remo does not, but the pasta is the same kind. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: 500g · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Durum Wheat, Semolina, Water
FairPrice Singapore (omni) ingredient section. Same composition as Spaghetti No. 5, thinner cut (No. 3). The comma placement ("Durum Wheat, Semolina") is as printed on the FairPrice listing — it is not two different wheats. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Durum wheat semolina. May contain traces of soy and mustard.
Little Farms Singapore product listing. Described as crafted using the traditional Lenta Lavorazione (slow processing) method, since 1846, with 14.5g protein per 100g (brand statement, not an ingredient). This is the Little Farms panel for this category — the only spaghetti panel sourced from Little Farms in this pass. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Durum Wheat Semolina. May contain traces of egg and soya.
Agnesi is sold in Singapore via Shopee Singapore listings; the list above is from Thai retailer listings (Villa Market, TOPS) for Agnesi Spaghetti No. 3. Flag: no Singapore pack list was retrieved, so this is not presented as a verified SG pack list. Structurally it is the standard one-ingredient durum spaghetti, same as San Remo No. 5 and Rummo No. 3. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: 500g · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Wholemeal Durum Wheat Semolina. May contain traces of egg and soy. Product does not contain egg as an ingredient.
FairPrice Singapore ingredient section (also confirmed in FairPrice wholemeal spirals listing with the same wording). One ingredient, whole grain — the only change from standard San Remo is "wholemeal" before "durum wheat semolina". Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Wheat, Durum Wheat Flour, Lentil Flour, Pea Protein, Chickpea Flour, Barley Flour, Spelt Flour, Vitamin B3, Iron, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Folic Acid
FairPrice Singapore ingredient section. Described as combining wheat, lentil, chickpea and pea flours, delivering 20 percent protein (brand description). Note barley and spelt flours — both gluten-containing grains — so this is not gluten-free despite the legume content. Allergens: gluten (wheat, barley, spelt)
Pack size: 227g · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Chickpeas, Pea Starch, Tapioca, Xanthan Gum
Little Farms Singapore lists Banza Chickpea Spaghetti (227g box); the ingredient list above is consistent across US retailer listings (FullyHealthy, Pick 'n Save, QFC) and EWG. Flag: no Singapore pack list was retrieved, so this panel is not presented as a verified SG pack list — the SG import should be checked against it. Chickpea is the first ingredient, not wheat: this is a legume pasta, not a wheat spaghetti variant, and it cooks and behaves differently. No wheat ingredient Legume base
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Corn flour, rice flour, mono and diglycerides.
Open Food Facts / US retail listings for Barilla Gluten Free Spaghetti (US box: corn flour, rice flour, mono- and diglycerides; EU listing gives white corn flour 60%, yellow corn flour 29.5%, brown rice flour 10%, water, emulsifier mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids). Flag: no Singapore FairPrice ingredient section for Barilla Gluten Free Spaghetti was retrieved in this pass, so this panel is not presented as a verified SG pack list — the US and EU wordings differ in detail (percentages, water) and the SG import may match either. What is consistent across both is: no wheat, corn + rice flours, mono- and diglycerides as emulsifier. No wheat ingredient
Pack size: 400g · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Wholemeal rice (36%), yellow corn (32.5%), white corn (20%), rice (8%), potato starch (3%), emulsifier: E471
Little Farms Singapore lists this as "Lavorazione Gluten Free Pasta — Spaghetti No. 3" (400g pack); the list above is from UK retailer listings (Italia Solutions, Melbury & Appleton, Vorrei) for Rummo Gluten Free Spaghetti No. 3. Flag: no Singapore pack list was retrieved, so this is not presented as a verified SG pack list. A rice/corn/starch blend — no wheat, no chickpea, and a different base from Barilla Gluten Free (corn + rice flours) and from San Remo Gluten Free below (maize starch + soy flour). No wheat ingredient Emulsifier: E471
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Maize Starch, Soy Flour, Potato Starch, Rice Starch. Contains: Soy. May contain lupin.
San Remo's own Australian product page for Gluten Free Spaghetti. Flag: no Singapore supermarket ingredient section for San Remo Gluten Free Spaghetti was retrieved in this pass, so this panel is not presented as a verified SG pack list. Note the soy flour — this gluten-free spaghetti is not soy-free, unlike the Barilla and Rummo gluten-free panels above. Allergen: soy No wheat ingredient
Pack size: not stated · Made in: Italy (as printed)
Ingredients: Durum Wheat Semolina, Eggs, Water. Contains: Eggs, Wheat.
US/UK retail listings for Giovanni Rana All Natural Spaghetti (fresh, imported from Italy, cooks in 4 minutes; also listed as durum wheat flour, eggs, water for fettuccine variants). Flag: no Singapore supermarket ingredient section for Rana spaghetti was retrieved in this pass, and Rana fresh pasta availability in Singapore supermarkets (vs specialty / Little Farms-type stores) was not confirmed — so this panel shows the fresh-pasta pattern (egg added), not a verified SG pack. Do not present it as stocked at a named Singapore chain without a check. Allergens: gluten (wheat), egg
What to notice: egg is the only addition to the dry-spaghetti list, but it changes both allergens and cooking (minutes, not 10–13) and storage (chilled, short life).
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Durum Wheat Semolina, Vitamins (Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Iron (Ferrous Lactate). Contains Wheat. May Contain Soy.
US retail listings for De Cecco No. 12 (bronze-drawn, slow-dried). Flag: enrichment (added B vitamins + iron) is a US labelling requirement pattern; Italian / Singapore De Cecco packs may list semolina only. No SG FairPrice ingredient section for De Cecco spaghetti was retrieved, so this panel is flagged, not presented as an SG pack list. Included because De Cecco is a common parallel-import spaghetti in Singapore specialty stores, and shoppers comparing it with San Remo should know enrichment is the difference to look for. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Whole Grain Durum Wheat Flour
US retailer listings (Stop & Shop, Mariano's, Ralphs) give the single-ingredient list above. An Australian CHOICE listing words it as "Whole Durum Wheat Semolina, Water" — same whole-grain durum base, different declaration. Flag: no Singapore pack list was retrieved, so neither wording is presented as the verified SG pack list. Wholemeal durum, not a blend: the only change from standard Barilla is "whole grain" before the durum. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Wholemeal Durum Wheat Semolina, Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid
Spoonful listing for De Cecco Whole Wheat Spaghetti. Unlike the standard De Cecco No. 12 panel above, this whole-wheat list carries B vitamins but no iron (ferrous lactate) — do not merge the two De Cecco lists. Flag: no Singapore pack list was retrieved. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Organic Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta
Spoonful listing for De Cecco Organic Spaghetti — a one-ingredient organic durum list, with no enrichment vitamins, unlike the standard and whole-wheat De Cecco panels. Flag: no Singapore pack list was retrieved, and SG availability of the organic variant was not confirmed from a Singapore listing in this pass. Allergens: gluten (wheat)
All figures below are for the dry, uncooked pasta as sold, per 100 g, unless the Basis column says otherwise. Cooked spaghetti per 100 g will show lower figures because the pasta absorbs water — do not compare a cooked figure with an uncooked figure. Salt = sodium × 2.5: the Sodium column shows sodium as printed, with the salt equivalent in brackets. Where a source prints salt only, sodium is shown with ≈ as salt ÷ 2.5. Sugars figures are total sugars as printed on the nutrition panel, not added sugars: none of the plain spaghetti ingredient lists on this page contains an added-sugar ingredient. No Nutri-Grade is assigned here, and no health score or ranking is given.
| Product | Basis | Energy | Protein | Total fat | Saturated fat | Carbohydrate | Sugars | Sodium (salt equiv.) |

Conflicts / flags: San Remo No. 5 protein is 12.5 g in the brand specification and 12.0 g in some retail listings — the table uses 12.5 g. Barilla No. 5 sugars are 3.5 g in the European panel and 4 g with sodium 5 mg in an Australian listing. Rummo: only the 14.5 g protein figure was verified (the brand statement already quoted on this page); its other columns are not stated, not estimated.
As observed numbers only: among the per-100 g rows above, sugars run from 0.6 g (Barilla Gluten Free) to 3.5 g (Barilla No. 5), and sodium from 4 mg (Barilla No. 5) to 50 mg (San Remo Gluten Free). The Banza per-serving row is not comparable with the per-100 g rows. These are observed panel figures, not a ranking.
Seen but not verified (nutrition): San Remo Instant Spaghetti, Barilla Spaghettini No. 3, Barilla High Protein Spaghetti, Giovanni Rana Spaghetti, De Cecco Spaghetti No. 12, Agnesi Spaghetti No. 3, Barilla Whole Wheat Spaghetti, De Cecco Whole Wheat Spaghetti, De Cecco Organic Spaghetti, Rummo Gluten Free Spaghetti No. 3 — no nutrition panel was verified for these in this pass, so no figures are shown for them. Banza Chickpea Spaghetti has per-serving figures only (see row above), not a per-100 g panel. Do not borrow a neighbouring spaghetti's panel: a different cut, blend or market formulation needs its own figures.
Checked 5–6 November 2026 from: NTUC FairPrice product pages (ingredient sections) for Barilla Spaghetti No. 5, Barilla Spaghettini No. 3, Barilla High Protein Spaghetti, San Remo Instant Spaghetti and San Remo Wholemeal Spaghetti; San Remo / retailer listings for San Remo Spaghetti No. 5; Little Farms Singapore listing for Rummo Spaghetti No. 3; Open Food Facts / US retail listings (flagged) for Barilla Gluten Free, Giovanni Rana and De Cecco. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Where a full SG list could not be verified, the product is flagged or placed in seen-but-not-verified, not presented as an SG pack list. The nutrition section added 5–6 November 2026 standardises to per 100 g uncooked where the source gives per-100 figures, quotes total sugars as printed (not added sugars), and shows sodium with its salt equivalent (salt = sodium × 2.5). Re-audit 5 November 2026: added Banza Chickpea, Rummo Gluten Free No. 3, Agnesi No. 3, Barilla Whole Wheat, De Cecco Whole Wheat, De Cecco Organic and San Remo Gluten Free panels (all flagged non-SG lists, SG packs still to verify) and San Remo Gluten Free / Banza nutrition rows; the De Cecco standard-list conflict (US enriched vs Open Food Facts semolina-only) is recorded in the research notes.
