• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Monoesters): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
