These Brands are Perfect Goya Foods Substitutes

With the cancellation of Goya Foods due to recent comments made by the company’s CEO, it was only right for Cruzan Foodie to compile a list of Goya Foods substitutes. These brands are primarily small businesses that will be positively impacted by your purchase. The fact that these companies don’t praise leaders that shun immigrants and maliciously attack minorities for political gain is a huge bonus.

Below is a list of Goya Foods substitutes that serve up flavorful seasonings, rubs and spices to make your taste buds say, “Goya who?”

Small + Independent Brands

1. Chef Curl Ardee – Recently highlighted on Beyonce’s directory of Black owned businesses. Bonus Tip: Vegetarian, vegan, whole 30, keto and paleo friendly!
2. Island Boy Spices – Made by a US Virgin Islander ????????
3. Premadonna Seasoning – Even Rihanna is a fan of this one!
4. The Spice Suite – Monthly box subscription with specialty curated spices and seasonings from all around the world.
5. Fit Cook Spice Blends – Fitness aficionado Kevin Curry’s signature spice blends are always featured in his recipes. They look almost as good as he does ???? Bonus Tip: Gluten and grain free plus vegan and keto friendly!
