Walden Farms Balsamic Vinaigrette glass bottle

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Walden Farms Balsamic Vinaigrette glass bottle scores 57/100 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.

Walden Farms Balsamic Vinaigrette glass bottle lists 18 ingredients, starting with Water, Balsamic Vinegar, Salt, Erythritol and White Distilled Vinegar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 57/100 Walden Farms Balsamic Vinaigrette glass bottle 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.
