Your Mississippi Spice Questions Answered
What Goes Into Every Mississippi Spice Blend
These answers cover our all-natural ingredients, how our formulation works, and what sets our blends apart from the mass-market seasonings stocking most grocery shelves.
Are Mississippi Spice Company blends made with artificial ingredients?
No artificial preservatives, no artificial colors, no fillers. Every blend we make uses real spices and natural herbs, sourced and blended in small batches right here in Flowood, MS. Keeping production runs small is what lets us control ingredient quality every single time, not just on a good day.
What makes these blends different from grocery store seasonings?
We carry a 25X Grand Champion competition credential, and those wins came from blends we actually cook with. Mass-market seasonings are formulated to a lowest-common-denominator flavor that offends nobody and excites nobody. Ours were developed and tested under real competition conditions, so every jar is built to perform, not just to sit on a shelf.
Do Mississippi Spice Company seasonings contain MSG or gluten?
Our blends contain no MSG and no gluten. We know allergy-aware shoppers need a direct answer before they buy, so here it is: both are absent from our formulations. You can season with confidence whether you're feeding your competition team or a family dinner table.
How are the blends made small-batch in Flowood, Mississippi?
Small-batch means we produce in smaller runs so we can inspect every batch, adjust when needed, and ship fresher product. We don't blend by the ton and hope for the best. Our Flowood facility keeps production hands-on so the seasoning you open today matches the jar that won on the competition circuit.

Choosing the Right Blend for Every Cook and Occasion
These answers cover which blend fits specific cooking occasions, how SPG Plus sets itself apart from a standard rub, and how to put the Cajun and Seafood Blends to work for Gulf South cooking.
Which Mississippi Spice blend should I use for competition BBQ?
Our 25X Grand Champion wins mean these blends have been tested where it counts. For competition brisket, reach for the Beef Blend. For ribs, the Pork Blend is what we use. If you want a clean base layer that builds flavor without masking the meat, SPG Plus is the competition cook's foundation before anything else goes on.
How is SPG Plus different from a standard salt, pepper, and garlic rub?
Standard SPG is three ingredients and nothing else. SPG Plus takes that foundation and adds a double layer of garlic and onion that builds a more complex crust without overcomplicating the cook. It's built for brisket, beef ribs, and whole-muscle cuts where you want a clean but layered bark. If you know what SPG is, SPG Plus is the next step up.
What's the best way to use the Cajun Blend in Gulf South cooking?
Use it on shrimp, crawfish, grilled catfish, and dirty rice. The Cajun Blend brings a warm, building heat with the layered spice character that runs through Louisiana and Gulf South food tradition. It's not one-note hot and it's not timid either. Season your protein, hit it with the blend, and let the cook do the rest.
Can the Seafood Blend be used for anything besides fish and shrimp?
Absolutely. The Seafood Blend works on corn on the cob, potatoes in a boil, grilled vegetables, and oysters. It pulls double duty as a general Gulf Coast table seasoning at backyard seafood boils and outdoor cooks. If it goes in the pot or hits the grill alongside your catch, the Seafood Blend belongs on it.
