Ok, I know I am a little late weighing in on this, but I have used Walden Farms for years. It tastes great - especially the ranch and caesar. The only thing it has is sodium.

Wow this looks like a scam to me. I was wondering how they could possibly make Chocolate syrup, Barbecue sauce, ketchup/cocktail sauce, pancake syrup (just to name a few) all calorie free and I've discovered their secret. Either they're serving sizes are small enough that they're not required to put 1G (so it's .999G) or their lying.

I'm not even convinced water is truly calorie free.

Correct me if I'm wrong here!

no no no...it can't be! or can it? I've always wondered when they would come out with things like these. I think it's a scam. I don't know though. I'm going to buy some lol.

I wonder why they don't show the nutrition facts of these products. They have to be lying. Ksee, what are the nutrition facts of the products that you buy?

Sorry for posting 3 times in a row.

I agree with it being a scam. It may be much lower in calories but it cant be calories free.

The nutritional facts are on the website and sure enough they say 0% all the way down the line, that's why my guess is their .9%. Here's the page where you can look at the nutritional info. http://www.waldenfarms.com/nutritionalfacts.htm

Thanks for the link. I still think it's a scam though. It just can't be. I wonder what BB1fit would say about this.

These are the ingredients for the French onion dip that is supposedly “calorie free” I think at least sliced onion has calories. I don’t know about all the other ingredients though. What do you all think?


INGREDIENTS: Triple filtered purified water, white vinegar, oat fiber, food starch modified, salt, cultured buttermilk, sliced onion, natural herbs and spices, natural flavors, maltodextrin, titanium dioxide, xantham gum, propylene glycol alginate, potassium sorbate, Sucralose.

Sorry I keep bringing this topic up, but here is a post that I found in another forum.

"My mom buys their maple syrup all the time, and i had it one time...taste exactly like the real stuff. Seriously, she says the stuff is a god-send because of the low calorie content. She did send them an e-mail once asking how it is possible for it to have 0 calories, and they said that it actually has trace calories. The whole bottle of the maple syrup has 20 calories heh. Its kind of amazing..."
