Ingredient Score:
Awarded a rating of 1/5 green leaves, Ken’s Metropolitan Select Blue Cheese Dressing is among the products that receive the lowest endorsement for cleaner food options on our website. This evaluation reflects concerns regarding the ingredients and production practices of the dressing.
The product is not organic, which raises the first red flag for consumers seeking natural alternatives in their diet. Furthermore, it does not use non-GMO ingredients. The presence of added sugars, specifically listed as “Sugar” and “Citric Acid” in the ingredients, contributes to its low score. The dressing also contains several additives that our criteria deem potentially harmful. Among them are “Natural Flavor,” “Xanthan Gum,” “Potassium Sorbate,” and “Calcium Disodium EDTA,” which are often scrutinized for their necessity and impact on health.
The use of soybean oil is another critical factor in the product’s rating. Soybean oil is considered a harmful oil according to our standards, which prioritize healthier oil alternatives. The inclusion of this ingredient further diminishes the product’s standing.
Ken’s Metropolitan Select Blue Cheese Dressing also contains common allergens such as egg and milk, which are important for consumers to note, especially those with sensitivities or dietary restrictions.
Our assessment of Ken’s Metropolitan Select Blue Cheese Dressing is grounded in a commitment to spotlighting cleaner, healthier food choices. The product’s composition, marked by non-organic, GMO, and additive-laden ingredients, positions it unfavorably for our health-conscious audience. The low green leaf rating serves as a clear indicator to consumers that this dressing falls short of the cleaner food criteria established by our website. Those seeking healthier, more natural food products are advised to consider alternatives that align better with these values.
