What You Should Know

You'd grab this in the refrigerated dressings and dips section or next to packaged salads—often pulled into the cart for an easy weeknight meal, party platter, or veggie tray. It reads like a plant-based, nostalgic take on classic ranch: creamy and indulgent but marketed as modern and handy. The long ingredient list with isolated proteins, gums, starches, cultured dextrose and "natural flavors" signals industrial formulation to create a stable, creamy texture and consistent flavor, characteristic of ultraprocessed foods.
