Spatini sauce mix is a dry, packaged seasoning mix produced by Lawry's.[1] Originally developed in 1952 to be added to other ingredients (such as crushed tomatoes or tomato puree, and ground meat) to make an Italian-style "spaghetti sauce", it is also used variously to make a dip, in meatloaf, to season meatballs, and more.
Its formulation includes (in descending order by weight) salt, sugar, onion, potato starch, spices (including red pepper, turmeric, black pepper), corn maltodextrin, garlic, beet (for color), dextrose, yeast, guar gum, and carrot.[2]
The mix was manufactured and distributed originally by Spatini Co., subsequently by Unilever and its subsidiary Lipton Foods, prior to Lawry's, a subsidiary of spice giant McCormick Co.
