  • Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes, Enzyme Modified Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Enzyme Modified Milk): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
