Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Carob Bean Gum, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
