• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
