- Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese [Pasteurized Milk And Cream, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Caron Bean Gum, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum], Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Polyglycerol Esters Of Fatty Acids): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
