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.
