Original Ranch Dressing

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing scores 5/100 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 Original Ranch Dressing lists 18 ingredients, starting with Vegetable Oil, Water, Buttermilk, Sugar and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing 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.
