Melinda's Sriracha Ranch

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Melinda's Sriracha Ranch 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.

Melinda's Sriracha Ranch lists 17 ingredients, starting with Water, Sriracha Hot Sauce, Soybean Vegetable Oil, Milk Cream and Egg Yolks. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Melinda's Sriracha Ranch scores worse than most hot sauce we have scored. A higher-scoring option in hot sauce is Louisiana Original Hot Sauce at 95/100.
