• Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (Soy)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors (Smoked Torula Yeast, Yeast Extract)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
