How scoring works

The clean score reads only the ingredient label. Up to 60 points come from the 9 additive groups we check: each group not on the label earns its share, and a group named only in a "may contain" note earns half. Up to 25 points come from an organic claim we have confirmed. Points that do not apply to this kind of food are left out and the rest is scaled to 100.

This product: 8 of 9 groups not on the label. Organic claim confirmed.

Our research notes

What to know before you choose these spices & seasonings

The recorded ingredient label lists 10 ingredients, led by organic spices, sea salt and organic dehydrated onion. Worth noting: it lists added sweeteners (organic tapioca maltodextrin and organic molasses powder) and seed oils. The maker describes it as organic; these are the maker’s statements, so look for the certifier’s seal on the package. For these spices & seasonings, the comparison that matters most is spice or blend: distinguish a single spice, seasoning blend and seasoned salt.
