- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
