- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids. Pasteurized Process American Cheese: Cheddar Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes)): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Grill Flavor (From Partially Hydrogenated Soybean/Cottonseed Oil), Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
