House Foods Corporation is excited to announce the launch of its new line of GABAN® milled seasonings, set to hit stores on February 9, 2026. Designed for home cooks seeking convenience without sacrificing flavor, this series features two unique varieties that promise to elevate your culinary creations. From seasoning beef steak and grilled vegetables to enhancing chicken sauté and salads, these spices offer versatility to suit a wide array of dishes.
Exciting Features
1. Authentic Flavor and Convenience
The GABAN® milled seasonings are designed to bring professional-grade spice magic right to your kitchen. Made using spices favored by chefs and equipped with a grinder akin to those found in restaurants, these seasonings capture the fresh aroma of ground spices.

2. Perfect Pairing with Two Distinct Flavors
The
Garlic & Pepper variant combines the boldness of black pepper with garlic's punch, making it ideal for richly flavored dishes like beef steak or grilled vegetables. On the other hand, the
Lemon & Mustard offers a refreshing zest, pairing perfectly with lighter meals such as sautéed chicken or fish, providing a bright and delicious flavor experience.
3. Quick and Satisfying Cooking
Designed with efficiency in mind, the milled feature reduces prep time, allowing you to enjoy the aromatic experience of freshly ground spices. Busy days won’t hinder your ability to whip up high-quality meals, striking the perfect balance between convenience and flavor.
Development Story
Focusing on “Quality Meets Convenience”
Given the rise in dual-income households, the demand for easy-to-make yet gourmet meals has increased. Many home cooks, particularly men, desire an authentic taste in cooking but face limitations in time and skills. This product was inspired by the need for an easy solution that still delivers an authentic culinary experience.
Catering to the Busy and Quality-Conscious
In today’s fast-paced environment, many still value the joy of cooking and the importance of family mealtime. GABAN® milled seasonings are created for those who want to ensure their dishes are both simple to prepare and packed with intense flavors. The aim is to find the sweet spot between effortless cooking and delightful taste.
Striving for Consistent Flavor
Developing a blend that maintains consistent flavor throughout was a challenge. Traditionally, when mixing various spices in a grinder, they can separate, leading to flavor differences. To combat this, the team experimented with various spices and granule sizes, refining the blend until they achieved a formula that grounds evenly. This meticulous crafting process involved numerous trials and adjustments to ensure the final product maintains an exceptional flavor right to the last shake.
