For Eileen----McCormick's spices

[Guest guest]

Hi Eileen,

Please, would you share the source for your statement that McCormick's spices are contaminated from shared lines and not GF.

I have been diagnosed as celiac for 21 years and have always been told by the company when I checked and verified that these spices were GF and safe. I have never been aware of any reaction to their spices.

Currently a Penzy's is in my area and had thought to try them but I would like to know the source of this statement. I receive info. on GF products and McCormicks has always been approved as GF. Is this something new?

Thank you,

Gen

hi Gen - i heard it in my celiac group online that i belonged to just prior to

finding scd - i'd be psyched if it's wrong info !! and i can't remember for the

life of me the name of the online group- it wasn't a yahoo one but can't recall

sorry

I love Penzey's spices too, and we have a letter from them in the files here.

" GF " does not always mean SCD legal. It is easy to order the Penzey's spices on

line.

For me, it was just easier to equip the kitchen with Penzey's and be done with

it. It was an initial investment- but like other things- yogurt maker and so on,

made it easier to cook SCD in the long run.

Do your products contain gluten?

Question

Do your products contain gluten?

Answer

None of our single ingredient spices and herbs contain gluten. In addition, all

of our extracts, including Pure Vanilla, are gluten-free. Some of our products

do contain gluten. When WHEAT is the source, it will always be called out within

the ingredient statement, and listed in bold.

We do not maintain a list of gluten-free products, as our formulas change from

time to time.

so they do make gluten products and gf -so i believe they're on shared lines is

what my celiec group meant - i'm sticking with penzeys - i also use Badia -sold

at shoprite near me - no legal letter but the woman has a nephew with autism on

a restricted diet not scd but understood that i needed to have confirmation or

get sick - so i trust her and also never had problems so they're safe for me
