Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Light Classic Ranch Dressing scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
