- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Beef, Pork & Lamb, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 4,915 products we've analyzed.
