How does Slap Yo' Daddy BBQ’s label for top allergens and sensitivities?

Please read the ingredient list on the label to ensure accurate, up to date information, as product formulas may change.

Are your products safe for people with nut allergies?
Some Slap Yo' Daddy BBQ products may contain tree nuts which will always be declared in the ingredient statement or “contains” statement. It is important that you read the ingredient statement on your package at the time of purchase to ensure accurate, up to date information, as product formulas may change.

What are ‘natural flavors” listed in the ingredients?
The “natural flavors” used vary depending on the product. We use a variety of natural flavors, all of which are derived from natural sources. If you’re wondering about a specific ingredient, please contact us.

What are the spices in “Spices” listed in the ingredients?
We use many spices in our products. If you’re wondering about a specific ingredient, please contact us.

What is the shelf life of your Rubs?
Our Rubs are good for up to 18 months when stored in a cool pantry if the storage recommendations do not exceed 70F and 45% relative humidity. If kept in a freezer, they are potentially good longer.

What can I do if my rubs get clumpy due to moisture / humidity in the environment it is kept?
1. Store your rubs in the Freezer.
2. Use a fork to break up any clumps.
3. Put plastic wrap on the bottle top before screwing on the pour lid as it will not be airtight once you use it and residue on the cap prevents it from sealing the rub bottle from moisture.
4. Keep your rub bottles in the container you keep your raw uncooked rice.

I have a bottle of Slap Yo' Daddy BBQ sauce and I can’t find/read the Best By date. Where is it?
The Best By date is printed on the bottle just above the label. Best By means that you’re enjoying my products at their best flavor which is 2 years from the production date. If you have questions on the Best By date, please contact us.

What is the shelf life of your Sauces?
Our Bar-B-Q Sauces have a Best By 2-year date from production. When kept in the fridge, they have a 3+ year shelf life. (Plenty of time to inspire and create your own delicious dishes!)

How long does your Bar-B-Q Sauce last after I open it?
Unrefrigerated on the kitchen counter, the best quality is experienced through 2 weeks. Always refrigerate the sauce after it is opened and it should be good for 6-12 months.

Should I refrigerate your Bar-B-Q Sauce?
I always refrigerate my opened and unopened BBQ sauces. Yes, if you have unopened sauces, they last a long longer in the fridge before you use them.  I love and buy sauces from around the country like South Carolina vinegar sauces and White Alabama sauces that my friends and fellow BBQ competitors make.  One of my favorite class modules is when my students sample the wonderful regional sauces from all over the country.

How much of a product should I use when I’m cooking?
The long answer: This question varies depending on what you're cooking and what product you are using. If you need further assistance, please contact us. The short answer: As much as you’d like!
