Gazebo Room Greek Salad Dressing & Marinade — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Gazebo Room Greek Salad Dressing & Marinade by Gazebo Room BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
Sells itself as 'all natural' with 'no artificial ingredients' while pumping MSG and refined soybean oil into the bottle. The label and the ingredient list don't agree.
Why this verdict
- 'All natural / no artificial ingredients' claim is contradicted by MSG on the label
- Refined soybean oil leads the oil blend, not olive oil
- Monosodium glutamate is a manufactured flavor enhancer, not a 'natural' ingredient
- 'Natural flavoring' is a vague industrial catch-all
- High sodium from salt plus added glutamate
Ingredients (6)
- Oil (soybean and olive) (moderate) — Soybean oil is listed first, so it dominates over olive. It's a cheap, highly refined seed oil heavy in omega-6, undercutting the 'Greek/olive oil' image.
- Cider vinegar (safe) — A simple, recognizable acid base. Fine.
- Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
- MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE (moderate) — Flavor enhancer added to manufacture savoriness; a hallmark of engineered food.
- Natural Flavoring (moderate) — Vague but not artificial; minor concern
- Spices (safe) — Seasoning blend; negligible quantity, no concern.
