Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch Topping & Dressing falls at the bottom of the scale for healthier food options on our website. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which has impacted its rating adversely. The presence of added sugars contributes to its low score, emphasizing the product’s deviation from cleaner food standards.
Further scrutiny reveals the inclusion of several additives such as natural flavors, xanthan gum, modified food starch, and calcium disodium EDTA, which are considered potentially harmful and have resulted in significant point deductions. Monosodium glutamate, a known harmful additive, is also a component of this dressing, leading to further deductions.
The product’s use of oils such as soybean and canola, which are noted as harmful in the context of our scoring system, further contributes to its low rating. These oils are often processed and may not align with the cleaner food options that consumers might be seeking.
The Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch Topping & Dressing, with its score of 1/5 green leaves, is not recommended for those looking for cleaner, more health-conscious food choices. The product’s reliance on non-organic, GMO ingredients, added sugars, and a range of additives and oils deemed harmful by our standards, positions it unfavorably in a market where many are seeking out healthier alternatives. Consumers are advised to consider these factors when making their food selections, as this product does not meet the criteria for a cleaner food option.
