Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Ken’s Old Venice Italian Dressing presents itself as a choice for consumers seeking Italian dressing options. However, our evaluation raises concerns regarding its composition and the use of certain ingredients that detract from its clean food status.
The dressing is not organic, which leads to its first deduction in our scoring system. The lack of non-GMO ingredients further impacts its score negatively. Added sugars, which are present in this product, are another factor that we consider unfavorable for a cleaner food option.
Our assessment identifies several potentially harmful additives such as Natural Flavor, Flavor, Xanthan Gum, and Calcium Disodium EDTA. These substances contribute to the lowering of the product’s rating. The presence of caramel color, which is noted as a known harmful additive, and Maltodextrin, further reduces the dressing’s standing on our scale.
Soybean Oil is the base oil used in the dressing, and we classify it as a harmful oil due to its typical processing methods and potential health implications. This finding also decreases the product’s overall score.
Given these considerations, Ken’s Old Venice Italian Dressing scores poorly in our system. The ingredients and lack of organic and non-GMO certification lead to a low green leaf rating. Consumers searching for cleaner food alternatives may wish to explore other products that align more closely with their health and wellness goals. Our assessment suggests that this dressing does not meet the criteria for those seeking to avoid additives, GMOs, and non-organic ingredients in their food choices.
