- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
