• Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (An Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
