- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Tapioca Starch, Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
