• Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Artificial Colors (Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides, Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carob Bean Gum, Guar Gum, Carrageenan, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
