Seasoning blends can contain far more than herbs and spices. We investigated 10 popular US brands—and found major differences in sodium, sugar, additives and sourcing transparency.

The *Consumer Exposed Shopping Guide 2026* helps you understand confusing labels, compare popular brands and identify alternatives with simpler ingredients.
This video examines Spice Islands, Lawry’s, Morton Season-All, Accent, Badia, Old Bay, Tony Chachere’s, Goya Adobo, Mrs. Dash and McCormick. We compare ingredient order, MSG, added sugar, artificial colors, anti-caking agents, preservatives, sodium and publicly available testing information.
We also reveal three brands that stood out for cleaner labels and greater sourcing transparency: Simply Organic, Frontier Co-op and Penzeys.
This content is for general education and commentary only. Ingredients and formulas can change, and the presence of an approved additive does not automatically make a product unsafe. Always verify the current label and consider your individual dietary needs.
