• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate (As A Preservative)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerine, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Emulsifier (Propylene Glycol Monostearate, Monoglycerides, Lactylic Esters Of Fatty Acids)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
