Square Poems 41: Mystery Item

Maybe you can guess this thing.
Right on the bottle it says:
'Salt-free, original blend.'
Dried onion is included.
'All the flavor without the
salt.' There is not even a
hint of sodium. Hooray!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I call these square poems because they have the same number of syllables per line as there are lines in the poem. For example, a five-line poem would have five syllables per line, and a ten-line poem would have ten syllables per line. This poem has seven lines and seven syllables per line. I am trying to reduce my intake of salt because of a recent diagnosis of elevated blood pressure. Written 12 May 2020. One of my sisters has a birthday today. Happy Birthday, Sis! (I already called her and sang to her.) ... Can you guess what the mystery item is?
