- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor, Natural Hickory Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
