Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch (Corn)): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Other Additives (Emulsifier (Propylene Glycol Mono- And Diesters Of Fats And Fatty Acids, Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Citric Acid [Preservative]), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
