FAQ

1) What is the shelf-life of Colorado Spice Products?

  • The shelf life on our spices is 3 years because we use all-natural and organic ingredients.  A lot of our spices will be fine a few years after their 3-year “best by” date.  However, when you get to about 7-10 years, even if the products are stored in a cool, dry place out of the sun and the pouch/container is unopened, they will lose a lot of their flavor and natural coloration.  Without a ton of preservatives, there are natural things that occur with food products, like spices, that are simply unavoidable.

 

2) Where can I find the “Best By” date on your packages?

  • A “Best By” date is embossed on the bottom of every pouch. If you’re having a hard time finding it, run your fingers along the edges of the pouch until you feel the embossment.

 

  •  If you purchase our spices in a jar or container, the “Best By” date will be printed right on the front label. 

 

3) Is it possible to ship Colorado Spice products abroad?

  • Unfortunately, due to strict rules and regulations around importing food products, we are unable to ship items to individuals outside of the United States.

 

4) Do you offer any gluten-free spices?

  • Absolutely.  All of our spice blends are gluten-free except for the following:
