- Stabilizers & Gums (Sour Cream (Milk, Cream, Whey, Mod Food Starch, Gelatin, Guar Gum, Sodium Citrate, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Carrageenan, Potassium Sorbate, Enzymes, Nat Flavor)Mayonnaise (Soybean Oil, Water, Salted Egg Yolk, Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Spices, Garlic And Onion Powders, Calcium Disodium Edta)Water Chestnuts): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
