- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Butter Oil): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
