- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Hidden Valley Pepperoni Pizza Dip falls significantly short of the clean food standards set by our website. This rating reflects the product’s use of numerous ingredients that are not in alignment with promoting a healthier food choice for consumers.
The dip is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients. It includes added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, and also contains dextrose, which is a more harmful added sugar. The product’s ingredient list features several potentially harmful additives like flavor, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, BHT, and modified food starch. More concerning are the known harmful additives present, including artificial flavor, sodium nitrite, maltodextrin, BHA, and BHT.
Additionally, the product contains palm oil, which is not only a harmful oil but also raises environmental and ethical concerns due to the impact of palm oil production on deforestation and habitat destruction. The inclusion of artificial flavors adds another layer of unwanted elements to the food product.
The assessment of the Hidden Valley Pepperoni Pizza Dip is grounded in a rigorous review of its ingredients, with a focus on those that may pose health risks or are environmentally unsustainable. The product’s composition, with its array of non-organic, GMO, and artificial components, places it at the lowest end of our rating scale. This dip is a clear example of a product that does not meet the criteria for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options. The 1/5 green leaves rating serves as a guide for consumers to make informed decisions and opt for products that support their well-being and the planet’s health.
