• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Soy Lecithin. Chocolaty Swirl: Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

• Stabilizers & Gums (Carob Bean Gum, Cellulose Gum, Carrageenan, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
