- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
