- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Monoester*, Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Agar, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gel, +2 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
