“Hot & spicy seasoning” is a general name for a ready-made seasoning mix built around chili. The exact recipe belongs to the maker, but such mixes typically contain chili powder or chili extract, sugar, salt, garlic and other spices, often with flavour enhancers such as monosodium glutamate. The aim is a quick burn balanced by sweetness and savouriness rather than heat alone.
In Squidy Seasoned Roller Squid Hot&Spicy, the seasoning makes up 4.5% of the snack, added to squid (88%) along with sugar, salt, soy sauce and a little extra chili. Rolled and pressed squid strips like these are a familiar Thai snack, and the seasoning soaks into the chewy flesh.
Squid is a mollusc, one of the major allergens, and the product also lists soy sauce, which is usually brewed from soybeans and wheat.
