Marzetti Simply Ranch

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Marzetti Simply Ranch scores 56/100 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.

Marzetti Simply Ranch lists 16 ingredients, starting with Buttermilk, Soybean Oil, Distilled Vinegar, Yogurt and Filtered Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 56/100 Marzetti Simply Ranch 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.
