Allergens per BBQ Rub — Overview per Spice Blend
Which allergens are in BBQ rub? This page provides an overview of mustard and sesame as ingredients, added sugar and salt in each spice blend. The information is based on our rub recipes and helps you compare the seven flavours.
Important: a recipe is not a complete allergen declaration. Check the current ingredient list and allergen information on the packaging. This overview does not guarantee that a rub is free from other allergens or traces. If you have an allergy or coeliac disease, request additional product information before making your choice.

Which rub contains mustard?
Memphis BBQ Rub, Carolina Gold and Toscana Fire contain mustard powder. Bear this in mind if you have a mustard allergy, and also check sauces, binders and other additions to your dish.
Which rub contains sesame?
The Korean BBQ Rub contains sesame seeds. The absence of mustard or sesame from another rub’s base recipe does not guarantee that it is free from traces or other allergens. Check the current packaging and request additional information if in doubt.
Dietary preferences: what should you check?
Gluten and coeliac disease
Our rub recipes alone do not provide a general guarantee that all rubs are gluten-free. Information about the ingredients used and possible cross-contact is also needed. For coeliac disease, check the current packaging and request an up-to-date allergen declaration if necessary.
Which rubs contain added sugar?
Carolina Gold, Jamaican Jerk, Korean BBQ Rub, Memphis BBQ Rub and Toscana Fire contain brown sugar. No sugar is added in the base recipes for Shawarma and Tex-Mex. This is not a statement about measured total sugar content or a general claim that these rubs are sugar-free.
Vegan and plant-based
The seven base recipes list no animal-derived ingredients. Also check the current packaging and your own additions: yoghurt, butter, cheese and honey, for example, are not plant-based toppings.
All seven rubs contain salt
All seven base recipes contain fine sea salt. The rubs are therefore not salt-free. Do not automatically add extra salt to meat, vegetables or sauces; take the salt in the rub and other ingredients into account.
What does cross-contact mean?
An ingredient list and information about possible traces are not the same. An allergen does not have to be listed as an ingredient in a recipe to come into contact with the product during processing.
This recipe overview does not establish which traces may be present in each pack. Check the current product information and, if in doubt, request further details via the FAQ before ordering or serving.
