Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
