Hidden Valley Ranch Mix

Recommended Posts

I have searched and searched... All I can find is that Hidden Valley Ranch contains trace amounts of gluten. The powder mix looks just fine and I put it in my soup. I am now afraid to eat it!!! Any help???

That info stands for the dry packets also.

My understanding is that it does contain gluten. I used to use the dry soup mix in my clam chowder, but then I heard the dry mix contained gluten.

When I called the company they said that there are no gluten containing ingredients in the dry mix, but that either they don't test for gluten or they're run on the same lines as gluteny ones. They do clean between runs though, I've heard of people eating it with no problem.

It's at your own risk, I guess.

I'm trying to make my own Ranch Dressing Mix recipe, since I like it too, and I'm scared to use the package product. I'll post the ingredients when I get it worked out.

Here's the recipe I worked out for it:

HV Ranch mock up:

3 tbsp Buttermilk powder* (found with the other dry milk)

at least 1 tsp garlic salt

" " 1 tsp onion powder

" " 1 tsp dried dill

" " 1 tsp dried parsley

" " 1/2 tsp lemon pepper

I developed it for my chicken strip recipe that I used to make with crushed saltines and HV ranch powder. I used Nini's chicken recipe and ran with it.

Here's the link to the thread:

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
