Rating:     Average

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Primal Kitchen No-Dairy Spicy Queso offers consumers a dairy-free alternative to traditional queso dips. This product is crafted with a blend of organic vegetables, including tomatoes, carrots, red bell peppers, and jalapeños. It also incorporates pumpkin seed butter and avocado oil, providing a creamy texture without the use of dairy.

While the No-Dairy Spicy Queso prides itself on including several organic ingredients, the product does not hold an organic certification. The presence of non-organic components results in a deduction from its overall green leaf rating. Moreover, the product does not explicitly claim to use non-GMO ingredients, which further impacts its score negatively.

A notable ingredient that affects the product’s score is citric acid, which the scoring system penalizes as an added sugar. This deduction reflects the website’s commitment to promoting cleaner food options without added sugars, even though citric acid is commonly used as a preservative and may not contribute to the sugar content of the product.

The Primal Kitchen No-Dairy Spicy Queso has a composition that aligns with the demand for healthier food choices. However, its failure to meet the full criteria for organic and non-GMO ingredients, as well as the inclusion of citric acid, affects its standing on the website.

The product stands as a middle-of-the-road option within the market. It is a choice for those seeking dairy-free alternatives but falls short of the highest standards set by the website for cleaner and more natural food products. The No-Dairy Spicy Queso manages to provide a health-conscious option, yet it leaves room for improvement in terms of organic and non-GMO sourcing.
