Cilantro Dressing

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Cilantro Dressing scores 30/100 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.

Trader Joe's Cilantro Dressing lists 25 ingredients, starting with Water, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Modified Food Starch, Distilled Vinegar and Soy Protein. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 30/100 Trader Joe's Cilantro 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.
