Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Newman’s Own Sesame Ginger Dressing is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not certified organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which leads to an initial deduction in its rating. Moreover, the dressing contains added sugars, a choice that detracts from its nutritional value.
The ingredient list reveals the use of additives such as xanthan gum and caramel color, which are considered potentially harmful. Specifically, caramel color is identified as a known harmful additive, further lowering the score. The inclusion of sesame oil and canola oil is also noted as a negative factor due to their classification as harmful oils.
