• Processed Meats (Hydrolyzed Collagen): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
• Natural Flavors (Bulletproof Cold Brew Coffee (Water, Coffee), Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Sugar Alcohols (Xylitol (From N. American Hardwood), Erythritol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Processed Fruit Products (Organic Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia, Gellan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
