• Modified Fats (Palm And/Or Interesterified Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carob Bean Gum, Cellulose Gum, Agar): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
