Double Checking About Spices

[shirleyujest]

Hi all. Love this forum on cooking as it goes to the heart of how this disease is addressed. I've been using search terms to get a grip on okay spices. There are a few I can't find clear yes or no's on:

- Old Bay seasoning

- Emeril's Essence (pre-mixed in the jar)

- Lawry's seasoning packets, e.g. tacos, sloppy joes, etc.

What's the verdict?

Thanks!

Best thing to do is write to the company who produces these spices. I prefer not to eat mixed spices, I always seem to have a problem.

So now I just read the back or go online and check the label and create my own spice. I made Season All, Season Salt, Chicken Seasoning, Steak Seasoning, all that stuff. I bought all the single spices to create my own. I dont have to think about the extras (preservatives, etc) they put in the mixed when I make my own lol.

Not sure about Lawry's... you could probably search the discussion here from the main page. Also, you'll wanna know that all Mrs. Dash varieties are gluten free... says so on the website. they have a lot of good mixes and they are really tasty for spicing up a plain broiled or sauteed piece of chicken, fish or beef.

Old Bay is made by McCormick and they will disclose any gluten on the ingredient statement. If I recall it's gluten-free but check the label.

Emeril's has a gluten-free list: Open Original Shared Link

Lawry's also has a policy to disclose all gluten but I don't think they publish a list. I think they just say check the label.

This is a handy list: Open Original Shared Link
