- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Sodium Alginate, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Sandwiches & Wraps, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 1,978 products we've analyzed.
