Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the KFC Menu Buffalo Ranch is a product that falls significantly short of the clean food criteria established by our website. This rating, the lowest on our scale, is assigned to products that feature a range of undesirable attributes from non-organic ingredients to the inclusion of harmful additives.
The product is not organic, a factor that immediately reduces its standing. Furthermore, it includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which are a concern for consumers seeking natural food options. Added sugars, here in the form of brown sugar, contribute to the negative assessment, as excess sugar consumption is a widespread health concern.
The presence of potentially harmful additives further diminishes the product’s score. Ingredients such as flavorings, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, and calcium disodium EDTA are used to enhance taste, texture, and shelf life but are viewed by many as undesirable in clean eating diets. More concerning are the known harmful additives, such as sodium benzoate and monosodium glutamate (MSG), which have been linked to various health issues and are best avoided by those seeking cleaner food options.
In addition, the use of soybean oil is problematic. While common in processed foods, soybean oil is often derived from GMO sources and is high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can contribute to an imbalance in dietary fat intake.
Given these factors, the KFC Menu Buffalo Ranch is not recommended for those seeking healthier, cleaner food alternatives. Its formulation includes a range of ingredients that conflict with the principles of clean eating, such as non-organic components, GMOs, added sugars, and multiple additives that carry potential health risks. The 1/5 green leaf rating reflects the product’s alignment with these concerns, and consumers are advised to consider alternative options that better meet the criteria for clean, wholesome food.
