Food Club Ranch Dressing 24 fl oz: version 1

Saved 2026-09-13 12:17 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Food Club Ranch Dressing 24 fl oz** (GTIN 00036800182325), a wanted barcode that the 2009 Barcodepedia showed as an unknown item. - **Identity:** Food Club brand and brand owner Topco Associates come from the USDA Branded Foods record fdc_id 1658166. Open Food Facts carries the same text and is not independent. The 24 fl oz size comes from the Yoder's Country Market and Wakefield Market listings, whose image file names carry the GTIN. The lookup's `conflict` is not real: OFF and USDA both describe the same ranch dressing. - **Ingredients:** 20 label rows from the USDA statement, with printed names, the soybean/canola oil nesting and the preservative roles. Only one new ingredient stub (egg yolk); every other name maps to an existing entity. - **Nutrition:** USDA's per-100 ml normalisation, marked `normalized`. The printed per-serving panel was not readable. - **Markets:** US, `sourced` from USDA plus two `derived` retailer rows. - **Relations:** brand_owner_at_sale `sourced`. gs1_prefix_owner `derived` (prefix 0036800 per USDA brand_owner), with the prefix added to the new company stub. - **Stubs:** brand/food-club; company/topco-associates (Wikipedia history, and the GLEIF record for LEI 5493007RHO8JPJMZQ771, Delaware registration 3412563 and the Elk Grove Village HQ); ingredient/egg-yolk. - **Unresolved:** recorded in Research gaps. Food Club's SmartLabel page was unreachable (connection reset), and search snippets hint that it may carry a newer label ("no artificial flavors"). A second UPC, 036800640146, is also sold as Food Club Ranch Dressing. The packer, pack format, allergen statement and photos are all still unknown.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Food Club Ranch Dressing 24 fl oz is a shelf-stable ranch salad dressing sold in the United States under Food Club, and USDA FoodData Central records Topco Associates as its brand owner, with a serving of 2 tablespoons (30 ml).[^usda] Topco is a retailer-owned food cooperative whose Food Club label dates back to the Wisconsin cooperative of 1944 it grew from.[^topco-wiki] The ingredient statement opens with soybean and/or canola oil, water, egg yolk, sugar, salt and buttermilk, and preserves the dressing with potassium sorbate and calcium disodium EDTA; USDA's normalisation gives 467 kcal and 46.67 g fat per 100 ml.[^usda] Open Food Facts holds the same statement under this barcode, without photographs.[^off] Pennsylvania grocer Yoder's Country Market lists the 24 fl oz bottle.[^yoders][^yoders-store]
