No, we do not offer or endorse the use of artificial flavorings, anti-caking agents, MSG, or preservatives in custom spice blends. These additives can have significant health implications.

Artificial flavorings, such as synthetic chemicals used to mimic natural flavors, have been linked to various health concerns. According to a study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives (link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26195145/), some artificial flavorings have been associated with adverse effects on the respiratory system and allergic reactions.

Anti-caking agents, often used to prevent clumping in powdered products, may contain substances that can be harmful. These agents can include silicon dioxide (silica), which, in excessive amounts, has been linked to respiratory issues. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified certain forms of silica as carcinogenic to humans (source: https://monographs.iarc.fr/agents-classified-by-the-iarc/).

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer commonly used in processed foods. While the FDA recognizes MSG as safe for consumption, some individuals may experience adverse reactions, including headaches, flushing, and sweating, known as "MSG symptom complex" or "Chinese restaurant syndrome" (source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5866307/).

Preservatives, such as certain chemical compounds, are added to prolong the shelf life of food products. However, some preservatives have been associated with potential health risks. For example, sodium nitrite, commonly used in cured meats, has been linked to increased cancer risk, as outlined by the American Cancer Society (source: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/processed-meats-and-cancer.html).

At our company, we prioritize the well-being of our customers and believe in offering products that are free from these potentially harmful additives. We strive to provide high-quality, natural ingredients in our custom spice blends to ensure both exceptional flavor and consumer health.
