Old El Paso

Recommended Posts

I'm craving a taco salad and I was wondering if anyone knows if the old el paso taco seasoning is gluten free or if there are any other brands that are. It listed maltodextrin on the ingredients. I know in the US that usually means it is corn based but that is not so inCanada.

thanks Christa

I make my own salsa and I buy my own Mexican seasonings and mix them together. I feel that is safer since I have more control over it.

I make my own seasonings too. But, I buy Pace salsa all the time.

I believe that the reguar Old El Paso Taco seasoning is gluten free. I've eaten it before and didn't get sick. I live in Canada.

If you are worried about it, you can just use cumin, chili powder, and garlic salt and it works just as well. :)

My Publix gluten-free product list finally arrived....only took 27 days. They list their taco seasoning as gluten free so we got it today. It is even easy to read the label and there are no hidden type ingredients from what we can tell.

How do you make it, would you mind sharing? Thanks

Old El Paso is gluten free. I called their 1-800 number and the lady said they never hide sources of gluten, so if the maltodextrin was wheat based it would have to say that.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
