Question about the order

If the same weight, go in alphabetical order. Example, if sumac is listed before clove, then they are not the same weight, and sumac must be heavier. If they were the same weight, then clove would be listed before sumac. Clove could also be heavier, but this is where math comes in in calculating weights. Sumac thus could be equal in weight, but not heavier than clove.

Given that KFC lists exactly none of the 11 H&S ingredients (unless one presumes that Pepper(s) and Garlic and possibly Salt are H&S ingredients) this seems like a moot point.

Let ME Explain this being Licensed to Import and Export Spices and Herbs from multiple Countries for over 30 Years

Items Must Be listed in Order of highest Amount items listed FIRST
items with same amounts in Alphabetical Order

Items which are list as Mandatory Listed items by way of allergen or Other regulation MUST BE LISTED and DO NOT have to Follow the order of weight rule THEY just have to be Listed as regulations BUT Do NOT say they MUST be listed in the volume order.

Spices and Herbs are Considered Safe items and DO NOT have to be listed unless the Packager WANTS to List the Items.

Salts ... or seasoned salt Celery, Garlic, Onion can be listed as SALT

Extracts Must Be listed

Color Based Spices or Herbs Must be listed as Color items ... Hint You cannot remove the Flavor while its a color additive ... BUT you can remove the Color and its then washed or a extract which removes pigment BUT not flavor. This is why occasionally YOU see Turmeric listed as Turmeric Color and Turmeric Extract it may have needed more flavor and NO more color so extract was used.

There is NO Law anywhere which indicated a recipe which says 11 secret ingredients MUST ONLY be 11 Ingredients or herbs of Spices HELATH LAWS to NOT fine for False advertising That's a Consumer Law Breach.

Mislabel or wrong item ingredient will be sanctioned with RE-Call and return Media posting especially with Allergens BUT also any miss label other times.

Onion and Garlic are WHAT is Called Customer Preference items TYPICCALLY listed By Packager as a Courtesy By Packager due to Public Preference of taste.

In K.F.C. example C.H.S. FROM THE Start admitted that Salt, and Pepper were the First two items with Flour Salt Mandatory, Pepper was disclosed so who cared if On Label and it then Hides the fact that Pimento is part of the Black Spec's in the Coating Everyone thinks it's ONLY Pepper hidden fact its also Pimento spec's which increase Aroma ?

Other chemical additives and preservatives are Mandatory listed BUT Do Not follow weight rule as general

A mix could be Blended like this and listed

Salt, Garlic, Spices, Dextrose, Natural Ingredient, Vegetable Oil (LEGAL to list items which fall under Natural Ingredient instead of Name in many Instances)
Because All Spices are considered Safe they can be listed as Spices.

All ALL ALL spice companies can use a 5-10% amount on recipes due to scale Variance ETC ETC and then they can also lump items under words spices or herbs

60 – 70% Salt
10 – 15% Garlic
5 – 10 % Spices
5 – 10 % Sugar
1 – 5% Onion
<1 Vegetable Oil (MFG AID)

81% – 110%

Extracts are added to either Salt or a common Carrier like Corn Starch typically.

Extracts are processed either through Cold press, Grinding, or Heat Extraction.

We use cold press typically for extraction as it's much easier than other Process and less Labor, as for the Method for Heat extraction I Do not have all the steps and Procedure to follow which typically starts with a Citric Acid stabilization for preservative (I Do Not have the full procedure with me as its specific for safety Health process if your commercially)
