You try to find the best meats, vegetables, and ingredients, only to come home and undermine all that work using seasonings filled with chemicals, artificial colors, and other junk. While it may not be intentional, many of us often overlook the ingredients commonly found in seasonings, particularly those from major food brands.
The are many food seasoning options available, it can be overwhelming to find seasonings and spices that are clean, natural, healthy, and chemical-free. Also navigating through the industry’s “sugar-coated” ingredient lists can be confusing.
We all want to eat clean and it is important that whatever you season your food with is free of additives, artificial flavors, or chemicals.
Here’s a list of chemicals found in many “big-food” seasonings
1. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
2. Artificial Colors (e.g., Yellow 5, Red 40)
3. Silicon Dioxide (Anti-caking Agent)
4. Disodium Inosinate
5. Disodium Guanylate
6. High Fructose Corn Syrup
7. Sodium Benzoate (Preservative)
8. Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein
9. Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA)
10. Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)
11. Partially Hydrogenated Oils
12. Corn Maltodextrin –
13. Potassium Sorbate (Preservative)
14. Sodium Nitrite
15. Caramel Color
These additives and preservatives are often used to enhance flavor, color, or shelf life, but they can also be harmful or undesirable for people following specific diets focused on natural and pure ingredients.
For example, here is a quote from an article from WebMD talking about Corn Maltodextrin: “Experts consider maltodextrin a safe product for consumption, but it may carry some risks. If you have diabetes or celiac disease, use healthier alternatives to the product. Avoid eating highly processed foods, and instead choose whole grains and vegetables to boost brain, gut, and heart health.”

So, where can you find truly clean, natural seasonings? Well, here is a hint, we offer multiple options but let’s answer some questions so you know what to look for.
What Does “Clean Ingredients” Really Mean?
When we say “clean ingredients”, we’re referring to a list of ingredients that are pure and authentic. Pure herbs, fresh spices, and zero chemicals. High-quality, seasonings are free from preservatives, artificial colors, and synthetic fillers. Instead, they deliver pure flavor as nature intended.
In short, a clean list of ingredients is usually one with ingredients we can all read, pronounce, and understand.
At Stella On Fire Co., clean means no compromises. Every seasoning blend we craft is made with the highest-quality ingredients, so you can trust that what you’re adding to your dishes is free from any unwanted chemicals. Just pure, natural flavor with every sprinkle.
For example, our Mexican oregano comes from Mexico City, our Spanish paprika from Spain and the list goes on. We go to great lengths to find authentic and high-quality ingredients to craft our seasoning blends. So not only do our products deliver amazing flavor, they do it cleanly and naturally.
Why Word “Natural” In Seasonings Matters
Well simple, would you enjoy food the same knowing that it was seasoning with one or many of the chemicals and ingredients listed above? Would you serve food with those chemicals and ingredients to your family and loved ones? Likely the answer is no, and sure, some of these chemicals in small quantities are ok and even cleared by the FDA but… well I’ll leave it that.
You can do your own research and come to your own conclusions.
All-natural, high-quality seasoning blends bring more to the table than just flavor. These provide a connection to their nature-given health benefits, offering the full nutritional benefits of herbs and spices in their purest form. When you choose natural, you’re saying no to genetically modified ingredients (GMOs) and yes to ingredients that have been minimally processed ( or not at all ) and responsibly sourced.
Natural seasonings also tend to be more potent, meaning you can use less and still achieve a rich, flavorful result. It’s all about maximizing flavor while keeping your ingredients clean and healthy.
