In France, pasta is defined by Decree no. 55-1175 of August 31 1955, which stipulates that only products made exclusively from durum wheat may bear this name. Article 5 also prohibits the use of colorants and chemical substances. Nevertheless, other ingredients may be added to the semolina, mainly eggs and vegetables (spinach, tomatoes). Italy and Greece have similar regulations.
