- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Apple Filling [Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Evaporated Apples (Preserve With Sodium Sulfite), Corn Syrup, Modified Cornstarch, Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Propionate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Metabisulfite), Citric Acid, Salt, Natural Flavor, Spices, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Agar, Sodium Citrate], Lemon Flavored Emulsion [Water, Propylene Glycol, Natural And Artificial Flavor, Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Guar Gum, Mono & Diglycerides, Preservatives (Propyl Gallate, Citric Acid), Yellow 5], Agar, +3 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
