Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Ken’s Fat Free Thousand Island Dressing lands at the lowest end of the scale on our website, which is dedicated to promoting cleaner food options. The product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, factors that detract from its overall healthfulness.

The dressing also includes a variety of added sugars, such as corn syrup and sugar. These ingredients are not only unnecessary for a healthy diet but also contribute to the negative impact of the product on our health score. Canola and unspecified vegetable oils are present in the formula, which are considered less desirable options compared to healthier fats.

Ken’s Fat Free Thousand Island Dressing’s ingredient list reveals the use of multiple additives. Natural flavors and colors, which are unspecified and could be derived from a range of sources, have led to deductions in the product’s score. Xanthan gum and potassium sorbate, commonly used as a thickener and preservative respectively, are also viewed unfavorably. More concerning are the inclusions of propylene glycol, titanium dioxide, Yellow 5, and Blue 1—additives that are considered harmful and have warranted the most significant point reductions.

The presence of egg yolk might limit the suitability of this product for those with specific dietary restrictions or allergies. Consumers seeking cleaner, more natural food products are advised to avoid this dressing due to the numerous concerns highlighted by its ingredients and the resulting low green leaf rating.

This product’s score reflects its standing as a less healthful option among food choices. Its composition, marked by non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, potentially harmful oils, and a range of additives, underlines the necessity for consumers to seek out cleaner alternatives for their dietary needs.
