- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Calcium Acetate (To Retain Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Dough Conditioners (Ethoxylated Mono-And Diglycerides, Monoglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Ascorbic Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
