- Modified Fats (Palm Kernel Oil And Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (An Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Artificial Flavor. Marshmallows: Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch (Corn)): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
