NUTRITION, ALLERGENS & PRODUCT COMPOSITION
We don't use any gluten-based fillers in our spices or blends. We do test for gluten and validate the results at a third-party laboratory, in addition to maintaining levels at <20ppm for the good majority of our products and ingredients (over 300 of them!). We do package 1 product that contains wheat/gluten (the Zaatar Dukka) in the same facility and on the same production line. Nevertheless, we have strict anti-cross contamination measures in place, which are third party validated throughout the year. You can always use the filters on our site on the product page for different nutritional info!
Our products are 100% plant-based. Clean, Natural, Non-GMO, Filler-free, Soy-free, Dairy-free, Nut & Peanut-free, Vegan & Vegetarian friendly.
The only allergens that are present in our facility are:
- Mustard
- Sesame
- Wheat/Gluten (only in 4 products - please refer to the gluten-related question above)
- Celery (for our US friends)
If it’s not on the above list, then you’re free and clear!

We only use additive-free Himalayan or Dead Sea salt, always declare it in the ingredients list and are the only company to declare the % used in the mix as part of our transparency policy! We only use salt when needed and often times use quantities WAY below what’s out there! Just read our ingredient lists and check our nutrition facts tables, you’ll be impressed!
As for low sodium diets, some of our products that do contain salt will still be suitable for your diet. Check the nutrition labels, generally found as a secondary picture for each individual product before you make your decision. Please be diligent, your health comes first to us!

We only use raw brown sugar or maple sugar, always declare them in the ingredients list and are the only company to declare the % used in the mix as part of our transparency policy! We only use sugar when needed and often times use quantities WAY below what’s out there! Just read our ingredient lists and check our nutrition facts tables, you’ll be impressed!
Check the nutrition labels, generally found as a secondary picture for each individual product.
If it’s in the product, it’s because it’s a necessity, and we’ve done our research to procure the cleanest possible natural option out there to achieve the desired outcome and flavour!
Fillers are commonly used in spices and seasonings for various reasons, but primarily to cut costs by increasing the volume, density or weight of the final product. This affects both raw materials, whole (yes, whole too) and ground, as well as premixed seasonings and blends. Cheap salts, sugars, preservatives and other chemicals, wheat and wheat byproducts, other cheap grains, wood chips, synthetic products, olive tree leaves (believe it or not, that’s what is used to adulterate oregano leaves), empty or low quality pepper shells in addition to products like MSG, that not only act to weigh down products, but also compensate for and enhance your perception of flavour. Doesn’t that suck?
Unfortunately, some of these practices are widespread and in some cases, the fillers or adulterated products are hard to distinguish not to mention are undeclared :(
We lab test both our raw materials and finished products at a 3rd party laboratory, validate any claims, and have a reliable network of suppliers of premium raw materials with whom we’ve forged strong relationships over time.
Although we do understand the purpose of MSG and how glutamates function, especially when it comes to enhancing taste and flavour as well as exposing our 5th taste, we choose not to go down that route and totally exclude it from our products. Instead of filling our blends with cheaper salt, sugar and flavour enhancers like MSG, which would allow us to drastically cut on costs, we have chosen health first and prefer to stick to our philosophy and mission of delivering clean, easy-to-use and premium quality seasonings right to your doorstep, the whole compromise-free.

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE TIPS
Once opened, the potency/life expectancy will be affected by how you store the jar. If kept tightly closed, away from humidity and direct light, then you can use them for up to 3 years! Exposure to light may create discolouration over time. Shake your jar and see some of that colour come back to life!
Our seasonings don’t contain anti-caking agents (chemicals) so clumping may occur in some blends. Simply take any solid object such as a knife, a spatula, a spoon or a fork, and break down with a big smile, you are eating clean foods after all! You can also shake the jar hard enough to break down any clumping and restore the product to its original form.
Need to know when your jar was produced? Read the last 4 digits on your lot number (from left to right) as follows:
Example: Lot# 504010013002
1st digit: YEAR ex. 2023 = 3, 2024 = 4
2nd-4th digit = DAY OF YEAR (based on the Julian Calendar) ex. 002 = January 02, 035 = February 4
In this example, the date of production is January 02, 2023.
