• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Super Whey Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Vegetable Glycerin, Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
