Artificial Colors (Blue 1. Yellow 5. Yellow 6. Red 3): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
