• Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Smoke Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
