While many nutritional labels state 'zero calories' for a standard serving of cajun spice, the reality is that all spices contain a very small amount of calories. This labeling is due to FDA rules regarding minimal caloric values per serving size.

According to research on popular store-bought products, many processed spice blends, including some Cajun varieties, can contain added sugars. This might be surprising for those who assume this savory and spicy blend is strictly made of peppers, garlic, and herbs. Understanding whether Cajun spice has sugar in it depends heavily on whether you are using a commercially prepared mix or a homemade recipe.
