- Chemical Preservatives (Freshness Preserved By Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
