- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Sorbitan Monostearate, Mono-And Diglycerides, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
