RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
While I do not have any Spatini to offer. My restaurant has developed a homestyle sauce mix and started to market from a web store on ebay. We have had excellent feedback and numerous re-orders. I will offer a free sample to any of you who request it via the "ask a question" link on ebay. What do you have to lose? Check it out at http://stores.ebay.com/sanos-sauce-and-spice?refid=store
Thanks.

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
I am absolutely crushed that I can't buy Spatini anymore. If it is not feasible for your company to begin making it again for nationwide distribution, why not at least make it so that we could maybe get it via mail order through your company. We Spatini users are really desperate. Nothing can take its place. (02/12/2008)

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
My mom makes a special Spaghetti sauce and now without Spatini we have no great spaghetti sauce. I'm crushed. Please bring back Spatini. She's made it for at least 35 years. (02/23/2008)

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
I can not believe that this was taken off the market. This too is my special little something to add. I tried Lawry's Spaghetti Sauce does not compare and is not that good. Please bring back the real thing. Why not it looks like you have a lot of consumers who want it. Please. (03/03/2008)

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
My grandmother introduced my mother to Spatini back in 1940's. My mother has only two packets left. She is guarding it with her life. Please bring it back or we will never have Spagetti again. She hates all other manufactured sauces and refuses to buy them.
Lawry's please put it in a jar and stock the shelves again. (03/18/2008)

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
I came to this site to add my name to the petition to bring Spatini back, but after reading these petitions was amazed to learn how many years this has been on the market and how many people really, really love this spaghetti sauce. I hope Lawry's reconsiders and bring this wonderful product back so we can all enjoy this great spaghetti sauce. (03/31/2008)

My mom used Spatini all my life. Now that she has gone and so has Spatini, what's left? Please bring it back. (05/20/2008)

Please bring back Spatini even if you must increase the price. Gasoline has gone up in price and people are still buying it. (05/27/2008)

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
It would have been nice if someone warned me that you were going to pull Spatini, because I would have brought every box in sight. You took a tried and true product from so many households. Please bring back Spatini.(09/10/2008)

Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
I agree. Spatini was the best Italian spaghetti sauce mix ever made. It contained just the right mix of ingredients to make an excellent sauce. Most of the package sauce mixes and even the jar sauces are too sweet and are missing the ingredients that make a truly excellent sauce like Spatini. (10/13/2008)

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
Please bring this back into the stores. Spatini was used by my grandmother, mother and I've got my family accustomed to the taste of the spaghetti sauce. Why is this a problem? (10/22/2008)

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
I would like for you to bring back Spatini in the 2.4 oz. box. I can't tell you how long I have been using it. It was in my mothers recipe and I am now 66 years old. Please, please bring it back. Several of my friends also used it and really miss it in their spaghetti sauce. Thanks (10/29/2008)

RE: Lawry's Bring Back Spatini Petition
I'd like to add my 2 cents to everyone else. There is something about Spatini that is different and special. I've tried several other substitutes and my spaghetti sauce just doesn't taste the same. Like several others, my mother used it in her famous lasagna recipe and I'd like to continue to do the same. Bring it back! (11/13/2008)

Boycott Lawry's
It's so sad that Lawry's has such little regard for us since they have discontinued a spice that has been a part of my entire family for over 45 yrs. At our family reunion this weekend, we have decided to boycott Lawry. This new packaged spice is an insult to Spatini. Goodbye Lawry. We are going to pass the word on. (09/27/2007)

RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce
Please bring Spatini back to the super markets. As you can see, there is more then enough people who want it back badly and that's not mentioning the thousands of other people, who for some reason or an other, can't post and complain. It was an excellent product! (09/30/2007)

RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce
I spoke to a rep from Lawry's on October 22, 2007. The rep informed me of two reasons why Spatini was discontinued. One possible reason was poor sales ( I doubt this was the problem.) The second possible reason was the cost of the ingredients to make the spice mix was too high to continue marketing. I feel this was the reason it was taken off the market. I also inquired whether the recipe was for sale, this would be an excellent opportunity for spice giant McCormick's to purchase and remarket Spatini, I was told that the recipe was not for sale. I was also told that there are no current plans to bring the spice mix back too the market. (10/22/2007)

RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce
I think it was a rotten thing to do. I want Spatini back! I did call the company and they said they were replacing it with Lawry's spaghetti sauce. I have not gotten to the store to look for it and to buy it. If they wanted to put the price up I know people still would of bought the product. (11/05/2007)
By Sally Vercusky
RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce
Don't buy the Lawry's spaghetti sauce mix in the packet it is no way near the taste. I bought one packet and you know what, the rest can rot and go to waste. I feel all Lawry's products can just stay on the shelf. I will not buy any Lawry's products until they bring back Spatini!
Editor's Note: Lawry's parent company is Unilever which has tons of products. Maybe a boycott would get their attention. http://www.unilever.com/ (11/15/2007)

RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce
For those adventurous cooking souls out there that asked for a scanned image of the Spatini package so they could try and replicate the recipe, I've attached an image showing the back of box with nutritional facts and side of box with ingredients, info from the front of the box is "3 envelopes, each makes 1 pint" net wt of the box is 2.4 OZ (68g)
Hope this helps. and good luck! I look forward to hearing from someone that is successful. (01/05/2008)

RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce
Try this for a quick and easy faux spatini mix. Take one package of Good Seasons Italian salad dressing and recipe mix, (this will already have your onion and garlic powder in it. Add 1 tsp. of light brown sugar and than add a pinch of crushed red pepper. Make sure it's not old. I think that's the zing in spatini. You can put this through a blender. Use fresh onions and fresh minced garlic in your sauce or meat loaf recipes instead of adding extras to the powder. Keep it simple. No need to store. If you have a smidgen of spatini left over put them side by side and taste. Thank you to everyone who had an idea and shared. The company's apparent disconcern should not be a factor in our collective efforts to crack the spatini code. Today is the day to make the kettle sing.

RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce
I sent an e-mail to Lawry's and they responded. This is their response.
"The product you have contacted us about has been discontinued. We are sorry that we do not have any remaining stock.
Our company's goal is to provide consumers with a variety of products to meet their needs and preferences. As you know, marketing is a complex function, and many business factors are taken into consideration before discontinuing a product. Before a product becomes available at the retail level, much time and expense is involved in perfecting the formulation, consumers focus testing, and marketing support. It truly saddens us when we must discontinue a product. However, consumer demand is a major factor. When the level of demand is insufficient to ensure that consumers receive high quality products at an affordable price, the product may be discontinued.
We apologize that this product is no longer available and hope you will continue to enjoy our products." This is their response. (04/02/2008)

RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce
I have heard of a Food Distributor in Mechanicsburg, PA that is still selling this product. I think that is why you still see it showing up on eBay. For more information try http://www.spatini.info/ (07/10/2008)
