Zesty Ranch Sauce

Do you still make the Old El Paso taco topper Zesty Ranch Sauce? If so, where can I find it? I have not been able to find it in the grocery stores. Is it available online?

Hi Patty and Jessica or Jessica and Patty,  I wouldn't want any hurt feelings! (Just kidding!)  I'm afraid I have to add my disappointment in finding out that this product has been pulled!  I'm big on marinating since I don't really like the naked taste of meat.  I've even tried to marinate ground beef.  Admittedly, it was not the only product I used, but it was my FAVORITE!  Please bring this product back! For a little known product, there are sure alot of people who miss it.  Just think of your sales if it were better advertised.  If this small number of americana miss it, I'm sure if it were properly advertised, it would be a different story.  Maybe you could make this product avaliable to people who are members and to specialty groups and start from there.  I belong to several survey panels, why not try that?   Thanks for listening and I hope you will take into account ALL of the feedback on this page!

Thank you so much to ALL of you who have expressed your disappointment in the discontinuing of Zesty Ranch Sauce. I have passed your comments on to your Consumer Foods team and expressed to them the disappointment of many consumers from our community. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments... I wish I could bring it back for you!

Hi Jessica,  thanks for your response.  I have a 'just supposing' question, though!  How likely is it that by you forwarding our posts to the proper people that it will make any difference?  Has consumer responses like this ever prompted BC to bring back a product?  Is there anything else we can do to get BC to bring back this or any other product?   Thanks again,  I was just curious!

Consumer response and input is very important to General Mills. I don't the exact way they handle it or why they make certain decisions. I know the disappontment when something that you love is discontinued and you have no idea why! I wish I had a better answer for you.

Ok, thanks Jessica,  You guys ROCK !!!

My family also loved the Ranch/Gorditas sauce.  They ate it on all kinds of tex mex type foods.  PLEASE reconsider introducing it and developing a base of customers!

I think your Consumer Foods department needs to be fired.  The Zesty Ranch sauce was so awesome!  No more Old El Paso products for me until Zesty Ranch sauce is back on the shelf!!!!

My wife had bought this product a few months ago. It was totally awesome. The only way you could have gotten this before was in a meal package, this was very messy putting away if you did not finish it. I have searched far and wide to find this great product only to find out on this web page that it is no longer made. I feel that I most go a little overboard in descibing my disappointmentSuper Angry. I feel like a baby who can longer breast feed

Please bring back the zesty ranch sauce. My family love it we use it all the time and my husband use it on his salad. My two year old even use it for her chicken nuget. We need brought back to the store. It's was the best stuff to have and be use on a lot of stuff. It's great on hambuger, taco, salad, chicken, chips and etc. Please bring it back Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You had a great product, but obviously didn't know how to market it. Big Boy has their special topping sauce , Mc'donalds has theirs, Burger King has theirs, etc........ You should try it again, but get professinal marketing help for promoting it. It was awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also very disappointed!  I have looked high and low for this sauce!  Tacos, Gorditas, and Quesadillas will never be the same.  It is getting hard to find the Gordita box meal too!  Please bring the sauce back!

That is the most disappoint thing I've heard about a product that was such a winner.  When this was stocked, we bought it two bottles at a time.  I had to hide mine, or by the time I got to it....the husband and kids had eaten it all!!  My husband had it on EVERYTHING!!  This was the most divine "taco topper" EVER!


I am also one of the many many shoppers that went store to store to store looking for this.  I kept it on my grocery list for many months after I knew it was no longer stocked.  I searched for labels on shelves to indicate it was there, but just out of stock.  When I saw the labels were no longer there, I even moved stuff on the shelves to see if any "fell behind" the other stuff (teeheehee).  YES!  It was THAT good!!


PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE bring it back!!!!


Yes

Add me to the long list of consumers who want this back.  I've already searched at a few stores to try to find this until I found out the sad news here.  This is a family favorite.  The kids enjoy dinner more with this sauce!  Please bring this back.  I hate that I have enjoyed this and now it has been taken away.  Feel like bait and switch.

My family was also big Zesty Ranch lovers. Our love for it began in the gordita kits and we were so happy when it was put on shelves alone. This stuff is great on everything and I don't like taco sauce so thats saying alot. I wish there was more input from betty crocker representatives as to whether or not they were bringing it back or if it is hopeless. We are another family who have searched store to store trying to find it.

Please bring it back!!! It is the only way that I could get my daughter to eat tacos (the only Mexican thing that she will eat!). 

12/3/2008 5:26 PM

yes we would like to add to the  disappointment as well .. my  picky 12 yr old is missing his  zesty  ranch .  Our Price chopper couldn't  keep it on the shelves.. i don't understand  why stop making a popular item :(


But with that said........... can we get the recipe??? You know  we can ll make MickeyD's special sauce ... how about Zesty Ranch's secrets?  pleaseeeeeeeee  Merry Christmas to all

First, I would like to say that I can't believe I am spending time on BettyCrocker.com looking for news about sauce, but I guess that it is the kind of thing you do when you have kids. 


Second, I would like to add to the list of people who are disappointed to see his product discontinued.  I wish there was some outlet to get it, even if it were online.


Thanks

Like many others I also wish they would bring back the Zesty Ranch Sauce, WE LOVED that STUFF!!!!!
12/21/2008 12:32 PM

This is the worst news I've read in a long time! That stuff was Sofa King good! I was instantly hooked the first time I tried it! I never even got to buy a jar of it, I only got to have it from the little pack in the gordita kit. I wanted to try it on burgers, salad, wings, etc....but I guess that will never happen now. Thanks for crushing my dreams Betty.
