Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing & Dip

Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing & Dip is a ready-to-pour ranch in 473 mL and 1.06 L bottles. A serving is 1 tbsp (15 mL), and the smaller bottle lists about 32 servings. Vegetable oil, water, sugar, egg yolk, salt, and cultured nonfat buttermilk lead the list.

The Clorox Company of the United States owns the brand, a 1972 purchase. Bottled dressings come from US plants, according to the brand FAQ. No Canadian plant is named on the .ca product page. An Eastern-time 1-800 line handles questions here.

Shake well, then refrigerate after opening. Canadian packaging marks it gluten free. Each 15 mL spoonful has 70 calories, 7 g of fat, and 130 mg of sodium. Soy sits in the natural and artificial flavours, with yellow mustard seed also listed.
