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?

Thanks for your reply. I did send them an email a couple of days ago but have heard nothing back yet.

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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
