Is Tops Blue Cheese Dressing Keto?

Contains High-Glycemic Sweeteners

Tops Blue Cheese Dressing contains high-glycemic sweeteners like sugar and maltodextrin. These sweeteners can raise your blood sugar level and prevent you from reaching ketosis.

As an alternative, you may look for other blue cheese dressing brands that use keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol.

Contains Highly Refined Oils

Tops Blue Cheese Dressing contains highly refined soybean oil and palm oil. These refined oils are prone to oxidation and may cause inflammation in the body.

Highly refined oils are usually extracted using high heat and chemicals. This process strips out the nutrients from the oil and replaces them with harmful chemicals.

It is important to get your fats from healthy sources so your body can burn clean fuel while on ketosis. You may check out our list of best and worst oils for keto here.

Contains Harmful Food Additives

Tops Blue Cheese Dressing contains modified starch and sodium benzoate which are included in our list of food additives to avoid for keto.

Food additives are potentially harmful to health and should be avoided as much as possible.

Most of your diet should come from minimally processed foods to achieve a healthy weight loss on keto.
