The product is a creamy ranch-flavored dipping sauce designed for pizzas, offering a rich and smooth texture.
Analyzing the nutrition facts, this sauce has 110 calories, which is low but not particularly meaningful in the context of a standalone snack or dip. It contains 240 mg of sodium, which exceeds the daily recommended limit for some individuals and contributes to high blood pressure risks. The presence of added sugars (0.99 grams) suggests it may contribute to sugar cravings or negatively impact metabolic health. With no fiber, protein, calcium, or iron, this product is more about flavor enhancers than nutritional value, making it a less-than-ideal choice for regular consumption.
The product appears to be ultra-processed due to the presence of artificial flavors, added sugars, preservatives (such as disodium phosphate and monosodium glutamate), modified food starch, and other synthetic additives. These ingredients indicate extensive processing to extend shelf life and enhance flavor at the expense of nutritional quality and health benefits.
Given its high sodium content and added sugars, this product is not particularly healthy and may be substituted with a fresher alternative like a homemade hummus or a simple yogurt dip with fresh herbs for a more nutrient-dense option.
