• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Emulsifiers (Stabilized And Emulsified By Mono And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Cellulose Gum And Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Alkalized Cocoa, Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
