Ham Flavored Seasoning

[JacobsMom]

I have a Ham Flavored Seasoning that I use to use alot in Veggies....I checked the ingredients and I dont see anything that stands out except the ?? concerning Modified Food Starch and Carmel....Here is what is in it...What do yall think??

Salt, Dextrose, Beef Fat (beef tallow, BHA, BHT, and citric acid added to protect flavor) Modified Corn Starch, Smoke Flavored Yeast Powder (Torula Yeast, natural smoke flavoring), Monosodium Glutamate, Seasoning ( salt, hydrolyed soy and corn protein, yeast extract, caramel color, flavoring with partially hydrogenated veggie oil ) cotton seed soybean added, Caramel Color Onion Powder Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate Oleoresin Paprika.....

I am still new to all of this and if I dont see something in my book that says NO I am still unsure....Please tell me what is ???? in here that you have to be careful with.

I am having a hard time seasoning our veggies with stuff hubby and older son will eat....Jacob will eat about anything PLAIN he doesnt care:)

I guess I could always fix his plain and then do ours:)

Thanks

Everything looks ok to me. The caramel color should be fine if the seasoning is made in the USA. But if I can't find out the answer for sure on this board I always call the company. They are usually very happy to check into it for you.

flavoring with partially hydrogenated veggie oil

The flavoring is the only thing that jumps out at me. Caramel Color is ok in the U.S.

Modified corn starch is ok...the only time it is a concern is where they say modified food starch because they do not tell the origin of it and it could be wheat. When it is corn it is fine

Your ham flavoring sounds interesting. Where did you get it and who makes it?

Thanks.

Thanks for all the info:)

It probably is gluten-free, but why take a chance? The company has a web site (samsfoods.com) with an 800 number. The 800 number might even be on the product.
