• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Flavors (Artificial Flavors (Coffee And Moka)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Artificial Colors (Artificial Colors: Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Natural Flavors (Coffee (2.8%)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
