Are Our Spices and Rubs Onion-Free?

[Intrepid_Chef]

One of my hosts has a guest who is allergic to onion and onion powder and cannot stand the smell of it cooking. I was thinking of doing Chicken Your Way to promote the grill pan and press. Does anybody know if our spices and rubs are onion-free? The catalog mentions soy and wheat, but not other potential allergens.

Thanks to the related threads, I was able to answer my own question and will pass this on to my host. Onion is in MANY of our spices but not all of them!I found onion in:
Chili Lime
Southwest
Italian
Smoky BBQ
Citrus and basil
Creole
Buffalo
Jamaican Jerk
Asian
MoroccanHowever it is NOT in:
Garlic & Peppercorn
Greek Rub
Chipotle Rub

You are probably going to have to go through the Product Information Guide to find out. I just checked and the new Chili Lime Rub is listed as having no allergens but it says it has dehydrated onion in it. I would check them all individually just to be sure. I don't know of anywhere there is a list that specifies everything that will have any form of onion in it.

By the way, there is not much I think smells better than an onion cooking. That used to be something I said at all my shows - "just got home three minutes before your husband? Toss an onion in the skillet to fry before he walks in the door and he'll think you've been cooking all day!" Everyone used to agree too!

Ohhh, I totally agree! I always tell people that one of my most favorite smells in the world is onion and celery sauteing in butter - in preparation for making the Thanksgiving stuffing. :chef::chef::chef: Smells like some of my best memories.

Oh I love onion!Yes, I went through the whole PIG on just about every pantry product, that's how I developed my list! And I'm kind of surprised she's fine with Garlic but she is. We're doing a Lava cake too, and maybe cream cheese and pineapple rum sauce and crackers, so it's not like she won't have anything to eat!
