Question 2

does spike contain garlic?

Accepted Answer

I put it in an airtight container and no longer have the box but I think it does. The original is too salty for my taste so I would buy the no salt in the future. The garlic may be there but you’d never know it.

Question 3

I just received my 14 oz original spike, i think there is an expiration date, says 18d17 on top of box (indented). does that mean mine expired?

Accepted Answer

They don't have expiration dates, they have manufacturing dates, in case something goes wrong and there's a recall.

I just had the same question.  I had a bottle of Spike still with plastic around the top but found no expiration date anywhere at all, then under a bright light I saw printed (barely legible) around the base of the glass jar 15K13.

A little Net research turned up the following:

"...marked with a manufacture date. The following is an example of this marking: 12C06. The "12" stands for the year 2012; the "C" stands for the month (March; January is represented by "A", December by "L"). The last two numbers "06" stand for the day of the month.  Therefore, the code date 12C06 indicates March 6, 2012 and represents the date of manufacture and packaging.  Our marketing experience has shown no problems of spoilage for as long as three-plus years..."

So, FYI, on a jar that I just now removed the plastic from the lid and that I apparently bought around 2015 or 2016, and opening the jar for the first time in 2022, it seems fine, even though by now it's been about seven years.

The 15K13 tells us it was manufactured in 2015 on November 13th.  Just opened for the first time on July 23, 2022 and seems fine.

I'll replace it since it's seven years, but it doesn't seem to be an issue.

This is what happens when you're an adventurous cook and have too many spices.  Some get lost amongst the other bottles.  :)

Question 4

Is this seasoning gluten free?

Accepted Answer

I don't see anything on the box about gluten content. You might want to check the company's web site to see if there is any information  there about gluten.
