Buttermilk Ranch

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch lists 25 ingredients, starting with Soybean Oil, Cultured Lowfat Buttermilk, Water, Distilled Vinegar and Egg Yolks. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch scores worse than most salad dressings we have scored. A higher-scoring option in salad dressings is Primal Kitchen Ranch Avocado Oil Dressing & Marinade 8 fl oz at 86/100.
