Penzeys Spices: Herbs, Spices, Spice Blends, and Extracts (Dec 2016)

I emailed Penzeys Spices about gluten and possible cross-contamination (cc). Here's what I sent and their response:

Email request sent 12/19/16 from me:

Hello Penzeys,

Are your herbs, spices, spice blends, and extracts processed in a plant that also processes gluten (wheat, rye, or barley)? Are there any additives that aren't listed on your ingredients label?
 
I've recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and cannot ingest any gluten, even from cross-contamination. Any amount of gluten will make me seriously sick. 
 
I love Penzeys and am trying to find a safe source.
 
Thank you,
Sara
 
Email response sent 12/21/16 from Penzeys Spices Customer Service:
 
Hi Sara,
 
All of our products, including spices, herbs, salts and all ingredients used in our seasoning blends, are naturally gluten free, however we are not           certified gluten free.
We do not add gluten (or any items containing gluten) to any of our products, and will not package any items if they are found to contain gluten.       Everything is all natural and does not contain any additives or preservatives.  All ingredients are listed in the descriptions and on the label. Currently the only thing we have that contains gluten is our Aleppo Pepper.

Penzeys Spices conducts routine spot testing for gluten on all of our products and follow FDA guidelines.  Our machines are cleaned and tested
in between jobs.
 
Hope this helps!
 
Take care,
Sue

Great, thanks for sharing Sara!  I think Penzeys is a UK brand?

Thanks everyone. I love getting information and suggestions. I'm new at this and trying to post what I find out to add to the information here. I've already been helped so much by what I've found from all of you.

We shop at Penzeys all the time.  This is the first time I have heard this and actually have Aleppo Pepper.  It is not labeled as having Gluten or Gluten containing products - Aleppo Pepper, salt, sunflower oil.

I have sent an email to them to ask about this.

I contacted Penzeys about the Alleppo Pepper -

All of their spices are Gluten Free - Aleppo Pepper was not at one time.  It is now.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
