- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (2% Or Less Of Each: Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
