Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Corn-Based Sweeteners (2% Or Less Of High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Natural And Artificial Flavor (With Milk, Edta & Bha [Preservatives]), Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylyate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
