Sauce ranch

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Hidden Valley Sauce ranch scores 40/100 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 Sauce ranch lists 14 ingredients, starting with Soybean 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 40/100 Hidden Valley Sauce 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.
