Eat Happy Kitchen, a women-owned clean-label food brands in the country, announced that its full line of gluten-free, no-sugar-added spice blends are now available at all 28 Gelson's Markets locations across Southern California. The company's spice blends, which are free of any fillers or anti-caking agents, are also now being offered in fully redesigned vintage-inspired packaging. Eat Happy Kitchen spice blends are the company's second product category offered on retail shelves. Its line of no-sugar-added pasta sauces are available in stores nationwide.

Gelson's is bringing in all four Eat Happy Kitchen spice blends:

- BBQ Dust: A smoky, savory blend with a kick at the end. Eat Happy Kitchen BBQ Dust is designed to work with the fire of your grill to bring the flavor of meats, fish, and veggies to life.
- Taco Dust: A blend of savory, earthy, and spicy notes that can be used on ground meat, roasts, eggs, dips, and shredded chicken for a perfectly balanced taco seasoning flavor with a bit of warmth at the end.
- Ranch Dust: A versatile blend that can be made into a centerpiece dip, a creamy dressing, or anything in between. Add the seasoning to chicken and fish before grilling, or sprinkle over steamed or roasted veggies for a flavor kick.
- Salt Dust: An all-purpose seasoning that can be used in any instance where you might use salt and pepper, from seasoning meats, fish, veggies, dressings, and marinades, to enhancing flavors in soups and stews, and even as a clean replacement for bouillon cubes.

Expanding on the retail introduction of Eat Happy Kitchen spice blends, three of the four varieties - BBQ Dust, Taco Dust and Ranch Dust - are also available at 18 Harmons Neighborhood Grocer locations throughout Utah.

The retail introduction of Eat Happy Kitchen spice blends is the latest example of the company's growth path. In June, the company announced that its line of pasta sauces would be available at 650 Kroger-owned locations, more than doubling its national retail footprint. In August, Eat Happy Kitchen introduced Cheese Bites, its first entry into the snack food category.
