Cons

Some major brands rubs come with drawbacks. They can be expensive for premium brands and contain fillers or preservatives and those numbers that no one know s what they actually are. While convenient, some rubs may lack the freshness and quality of homemade blends as they are massed produced and stored for months on end.

Additionally, pre-packaged options might prevent you from adjusting the flavours to suit your preferences. Some major brand rubs can also be high in sodium or artificial ingredients, which may not align with your health goals or what you would want to feed your family
