• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
