• Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch*. Contains 1% Or Less Of: Kosher Gelatin*): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate Added To Maintain Freshness): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan*): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
