Is old bay seasoning high in dairy proteins?

Watch for

• Nightshade C: paprika is named on the label and red pepper is named inside the spice blend.Both are Capsicum, so a strict nightshade elimination has to drop the jar, not just the obvious peppers and tomatoes
• Celery is the other half of celery salt, and it is a declarable allergen in the EU and UK.It is not a FALCPA major allergen in the US, so an American label may only mention it inside the ingredient list with no allergen statement attached
• Salicylate C, driven mostly by the paprika and the concentrated dried spices.Seasoning blends punch above their weight here because you are eating dried, concentrated plant material
• A cluster of mild Bs sits under the surface: FODMAP and fructans B (blends of this style typically carry garlic or onion notes), sulfite B, glutamates B and oxalate B.None is a headline, but they add up on a heavy crab boil
• Copycat and homemade versions are not the same product.Home recipes usually lean much harder on paprika and cayenne, which pushes the nightshade and salicylate exposure above what these grades describe
