Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Industrial Enzymes (Swiss Cheese (Milk, Enzymes, Rennet, Salt). Ranch Dressing. Soybean Oil): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
