What it is

Ranch seasoning is a blend of dried herbs and spices, commonly including dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, and black pepper. It may also contain salt, sugar, and other flavor enhancers. The specific ingredients can vary widely by manufacturer.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add ranch seasoning to provide a savory, tangy, and herbaceous flavor profile. It is frequently used in dips, salad dressings, snack foods like chips and pretzels, and as a seasoning for meats and vegetables.

Health notes

Ranch seasoning itself is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The individual components are common food ingredients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual spices and herbs used in ranch seasoning. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of foods containing ranch seasoning.

Allergen info

Ranch seasoning is not a major allergen. However, some blends may contain dairy (like buttermilk powder or cheese), which is a major allergen. Always check the product label for specific allergen information.
