How to differentiate between UDP traceroute packet and the normal data traffic?

I am a programmer and we can filter out the packets in the router to manipulate the IP or MPLS headers. My question is there any way to distinguish between UDP 1 byte traceroute data vs user traffic data? The traceroute udp packet will have different udp source and destination port number and there is no standard port for it. Is there any IP fields through which I can distinguish traceroute packet?
