A LS/LF Product from a Fortune 500 Company!


Wish-Bone® Salad Spritzers®



Lest readers feel your blogger discriminates against Fortune 500 companies, this post deals positively with a product from Unilever, a multinational conglomerate that is ranked 81 on the Fortune Global 500 list.

This shows that even megacorporations can make healthy products! (Although often they do the opposite.) So don't just confine your shopping to the organic aisle of your supermarket or a health food store.

Salad Spritzers are a line of salad dressings in spray bottles that have some oil in them and some salt, but keep the total rather low.

As seem in the nutrition data here the fat and sodium scores are 4% DV or less. This varies somewhat among the 8 flavors:
BALSAMIC BREEZE® VINAIGRETTE
ITALIAN VINAIGRETTE
RED WINE MIST VINAIGRETTE
CAESAR DELIGHT® VINAIGRETTE
RASPBERRY BLISS® VINAIGRETTE
ASIAN SILK™ VINAIGRETTE
RANCH
HONEY MUSTARD BUZZ®
There is always the chance they will change the ingredients or introduce a new flavor with less healthy ingredients - remember this is not marketed as a LS/LF product in any way. So always check the label at purchase.

I find the 10 sprays serving size realistic, but even if you use more the total is still rather low.

So, Unilever keep up the good work! Let's see if you can offer more products like this.
