• Industrial Enzymes (Wheat Flour (Datem, Dextrose, L-Cystenie, Azodicarbonamide (Ada), Enzymes)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
