Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Coconut Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Plant Proteins (Modified Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
