Padiano’s Kitchen

In 2022, we set out to learn about Artificial Food Dyes. We discovered that many household foods we love and enjoy are made with artificial dyes. Our Founder, Paden, began speaking out about this on social media, offering dye-free alternatives to those on a similar journey. Paden received thousands of requests for a dye-free alternative to spicy snacks such as Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

If you’ve ever tried to make a Cheeto at home, you know how challenging and unhealthy that can be! After some consideration, we realized that seasoning might be the thing! So Paden and his partner Gabby created a seasoning similar to the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos – without the artificial dyes. Through several rounds of taste testing among neighbors and friends, we landed on what we believe to be *the one*. And thus, Flame Spicy Seasoning was born.

Soon after finalizing the recipe, we worked quickly to gain licensing, a commercial kitchen, and supplies. Since then, we have launched an additional five seasonings. It’s our mission to continue expanding our products to provide seasonings and sauces that are free of artificial dyes.
