Why Ingredient Labels Matter
One of our goals is to help customers understand exactly what they are buying.
Many seasoning labels contain broad descriptions such as "spices" or "natural flavors." While these descriptions are permitted, they don't always tell consumers precisely what ingredients are being used.
Consumers who prefer a Why We List Every Ingredient Instead of Just "Spices".
When you read a French Longhorn label, you know exactly what's seasoning your food.
Does Clumping Mean a Seasoning Has Gone Bad?
Not at all.
Clumping is often the result of moisture exposure and is common in products that do not contain anti-caking agents.
In most cases, a clumped seasoning remains perfectly usable as long as it has been stored properly and shows no signs of spoilage.
A quick shake of the jar is often enough to break apart minor clumps.
For best results:
- Keep lids tightly closed.
- Store seasonings in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid shaking spices directly over steaming food.
- Use dry utensils when measuring.
Proper storage helps preserve both flavor and texture.
