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.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
