Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Other Additives (Emulsifier (Monoglycerides, 2% Or Less Of Ascorbic Acid [Antioxidant], Citric Acid [Antioxidant])): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
