01 · Inside the package

Start with the ingredients.

Spices, brownulated sugar, espresso powder, salt, mustard seed.

Transcribed from the original back panel; the current official full list agrees. Mustard seed is an ingredient. The broader shared-facility advisory is a separate statement. The small serving declares 0 g sugars despite brownulated sugar in the ingredient list; this is not a sugar-free claim. Original evidence retained privately

Facility allergen advisory. Produced in a facility that also uses milk, soy, coconut, celery, mustard, sesame seeds, wheat, gluten and sulfites. This is separate from the ingredient list and does not mean all are ingredients. Original evidence retained privately

Cowboy Crust nutrition, ingredients and shared-facility advisory
AI-cleaned presentation. Original label: about 178 servings; 1/4 tsp (0.7 g); 30 mg sodium (1% DV). Mustard seed is an ingredient; the separate facility advisory is transcribed in the label section.

02 · In the kitchen

Cooking with it

The side label suggests beef, elk, pork, chili, venison, nuts, veal, steak, fish and butter. Spiceology’s molasses grilled steak recipe pairs Cowboy Crust with molasses. These are maker suggestions, not Gaucho test results.

Research gaps & profile history

Still to establish

  • Add a complete front-of-jar photograph if available.
  • Confirm photographed store/branch, capture date and actual amount paid.
  • Record a cooking trial with measured food and blend amounts, added salt and tasting notes.
  • Identify production facility, ingredient origins and any lot/date code.

Profile history

  • 2026-11-04
    Added all three supplied views, original label facts, matched $15.99 shelf observation and separate $14.95 manufacturer observation; linked the existing Spiceology brand and Tennessee Smoke profile. No tasting claim.

Future purchases and label changes will be recorded here rather than replacing earlier observations.
