Club House Spices In Canada

Good morning,

Are the club house spices in Canada gluten free or just some of them? I love the lemon and herb and don't see anything saying there's any wheat additives but on the garlic plus herb it says toasted wheat crumbs. These 2 products are of the same consistency so would the lemon and herb have it too but they just didn't list it. I hear that Club House is the same as McCormicks brand in the States. What spices does everyone use. I love lemon pepper and lemon dill but the bottles I just bot says in very small print that it mite contain wheat-didn't have my glasses with me when I bot that one but it's not club house brand. My stomach got a little bothersome after using it but since I"m still in the trial stages it could have been some other contaminate. Thanks Beth.

In the past, when I've called Club House they say they will use the words wheat/rye/oats/barley/malt should they be in the item. They told me they will not "hide" gluten-containing ingredients.

Have you called or checked the website?

I only use McCormick, the expensive small green labelled bottles. Maybe I'm being too cautious. Mrs Dash spices are also safe and delicious.

Thanks, I just got a reply back from Club House and that's what they told me , that the glass bottles with the green labels are gluten free and that the pure herbs and spices have no additives or allergens.

I will add that I also buy McCormick ground black pepper in the large Costco size container. I haven't had any problems from using it. The label is green! It may be risky, but I use a lot of pepper.

Hmm. When I called they made no such distinction as glass bottles with the green labels are gluten free. Club House has orange lids and labels, and McCormick is green. Both McCormicks and Club House (owned by McC) said they will clearly label gluten. I guess I'll have to call Club House and double check the Italian seasoning just to make sure. It's still sealed, but is a plastic container, orange lid and no suspicious ingredients.

Here is what they sent me.

At McCormick Canada, ingredients are declared on the ingredient statement of each product label. On products such as pure herbs and spices, which don't contain allergenic ingredients, you will not find and ingredient statement. The only ingred present is the pure spice or herb to which nothing else has been added. Unfortunately a list of gluten free products is not available. In regards to gluten we do have wheat ingred in our facility. Please be assured we follow good manufacturing practices in our facilities and make all efforts to reduce the oppurtunity of cross contamination. The complete range of McCormick's gourmet spices and herbs(in the glass bottle with green lables) are gluten free. This range of products is also filled is also filled on a line where no other gluten containing products are processed. This was from Linda |Grover consumer srevices McCOrmick Canada. Hope this helps. Beth.

I received the exact same response from them.

I just got off the phone with a representative of Club House/McCormick Canada. Here's the scoop.

McCormick glass bottles/green or black lids are almost always pure spices or combinations of spices and are packaged in a dedicated area as are the small orange tins of Club House spices (about 10 varieties).

In a NON-dedicated area is where the Club House spices/spice mixes/seasonings are packages. I was told that each area is separated by curtains and lines are cleaned between runs very thoroughly, they take every precaution to guard against cross contamination EXCEPT that there may be airborne particles because of the curtains and non-dedicated areas.

She said to check labels carefully, that they consider gluten a top 8 allergen and label it using real words not natural flavour. She also said that (for example) there are two Italian seasoning blends: one with and one w/o wheat. Ditto for chili mix the hot & spicy is gluten-free but the regular chili contains wheat. I didn't bother to quiz her about why.

Hope that helps.

It is very clear now. Thank you for posting.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
