I have seen McCormick Taco Seasoning listed on a gluten free list. Has anyone used this seasoning? If so, did it cause problems.?

McCormick is a company that will clearly list all gluten ingredients, and won't hide them. For all their products, if you don't see wheat, barley, malt, rye, or oats listed, then it is safe. They are a great company for Celiacs!

Their website says:

When a product that contains gluten is formulated, we take precautions to ensure the source of gluten is declared on our label in the ingredient statement.

And, yes, I use their taco seasonings and I have never had a problem with any of their products. Enjoy!

We use this once a week for taco night - no problems.

Just be careful to read the labels. Today, I considered buying the McCormick's Chicken Taco seasoning, but when I read the ingredients, that one does list WHEAT.

Like others here, I use their products with no problem. Read.

a really good company to buy spices and blends from is The Spice House

If they were to use flour they list it. Most companies that mix up spices like this don't use flour as a filler.

I thought it was ok when I was first diagnosed but later realized I was dreading taco night because I didn't feel well after. Decided to look for issues, found the taco seasoning to be the problem, verified with my Nima (which others will tell you is no good for testing spices but it works fine as far as I'm concerned). I'm doing much better with McCormick certified gluten free taco seasoning mix. Why would they make gluten-free if the original was gluten-free anyway?

I know the advice written on McCormick products is that they “claim” wheat if it’s in there. Why on their taco seasoning mix, it’s not listed as possible cross-contamination? This should be added as a warning. I feel that I cannot trust McCormick spices now. It is also bothering my child for taco night and I have switched to Spice Island’s Taco Seasoning Mix that contains the same ingredients and claims gluten-free.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
