Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Pringles Ranch Crisps earn the lowest possible score on our clean food scale. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients. It also includes added sugars, which detracts from its nutritional value. The list of ingredients reveals the presence of several potentially harmful additives such as natural and artificial flavors, mono- and diglycerides, and malic acid. Even more concerning is the inclusion of known harmful additives like artificial flavors, maltodextrin, and monosodium glutamate. Moreover, the use of generic vegetable oil raises health concerns due to its processing methods and potential for containing trans fats.
The product’s reliance on non-organic, GMO ingredients, and the presence of added sugars contribute to its low rating. The range of additives, from potentially to known harmful, further diminishes the product’s standing. These components are associated with various health risks and are not aligned with cleaner eating principles. The absence of high fructose corn syrup is noted; however, the presence of artificial flavors, which are often associated with this sweetener, is a significant drawback.
Our assessment of Pringles Ranch Crisps is clear. Due to its composition, which includes a series of non-preferred ingredients, this product does not meet the standards of those seeking cleaner food options. Despite its position in a market saturated with similar snacks, its ingredient profile does not support a healthy diet. Consumers aiming for a cleaner lifestyle are advised to steer clear of this product in favor of alternatives that prioritize organic ingredients, non-GMO sourcing, and the absence of harmful additives and sugars.
