- Plant Proteins (Textured Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
