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.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
