- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol Syrup+, Sorbitol+): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
