- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
