Defining $\mathbb{Z}^*$ in $\prod_p \mathbb{F}_p/\mathcal{U}$ (or pseudo-finite fields)

Is it possible to show that there is a simple formula, preferably existential, that characterizes a nonstandard model of the ring of integers among the elements of $\prod_p \mathbb{F}_p/\mathcal{U}$?

Thank you
