- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bht For Freshness): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate, Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
