Ranch dressing &Dip

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Hidden Valley Ranch dressing &Dip scores 59/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 Ranch dressing &Dip lists 13 ingredients, starting with Water, Soybean Oil, Buttermilk, Distilled Vinegar and Egg Yolk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 59/100 Hidden Valley Ranch dressing &Dip lands mid-scale — below the typical score in salad dressings, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in salad dressings is Primal Kitchen Ranch Avocado Oil Dressing & Marinade 8 fl oz at 86/100.
