- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bha): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides (Prevent Foaming)): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Puddings & Gelatin, this product is more processed than about 36% of the 1,991 products we've analyzed.
