• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Stabilizer (Tapioca Starch, Guar Gum, Mono And Diglycerides, Tara Gum, Cellulose Gum, Polysorbate 80, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
