That's ingredient, not ingredients.

That's not the totality of ingredients. Unless, of course, you've just
bought a bag of flour.

Water doesn't (legally) count as an ingredient. Salt does.

Hmm. The manufacturers *might* be able to sneak salt in if they
used sea-water to make the pasta. Dunno (but if they did, they'd
be advertising "made with seawater").

Not sure you are right. We see water or aqua mentioned in the ingredient
lists of large numbers of large numbers of food products these days. Am
wondering if the rues changed?

In medicines, we see even some bone dry tablets with an ingredient of
water. Am pretty sure that is mandatory for them to declare that.
