Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
