Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Colors (Red Lake #40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Stabilizers & Gums (Powdered Cellulose (Added To Prevent Caking)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.

Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
