- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring, Natural Smoke Flavoring, Smoke Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
