- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Coconut Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Less Than 2% Of Natural And Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Instant Coffee): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Tea & Coffee, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 6,751 products we've analyzed.
