Taco Seasoning

Hello everyone. I have a question. I made tacos for dinner last night and I felt ill after. I uses gluten free (ortega) shells and McCormics taco seasonings. I thought these seasonings were gluten free? Has anyone else had issues with this. Is there any other taco seasoning that I can use that is good and gluten free?

I have not used McCormicks taco seasoning but they will list on it if it contains wheat,rye,barley,oats. They are a brand like Kraft. Did you check the label?

I was actually in the grocery store this week and had the McCormicks taco seasoning packet in my hand wondering of the gluten-free status. I called the 800 number on the packet and the rep assured me that all of the McCormick taco seasonings are gluten-free.

Taco seasoning makes me sick--even if it is gluten-free. I think it is the corn ingredients--its pretty intense with spices too. If I make my own seasoning with separate ingredients I am okay, but can't use the prepackaged taco seasoning...

Thanks! I am not sure what it was then. Maybe it was the spices? I have always been able to eat tacos even before going gluten-free. Maybe I am more senstive to the spices now.

Thanks to all!

Hi there,

I use McCormicks' ORIGINAL taco seasoning with no problem. Was your beef 100% pure? Maybe your tummy is just upset with the spices or something else you ate was contaminated.

One time I bought beef at the butcher, came home, and found a tiny bit of breading in it! It turns out it was stored right next to breaded chicken!!!!

This could be your problem as well.....

I usually make my own from individual spices--

for tacos, you could try paprika, cumin, onion/garlic powder, chili powder, garlic salt, black/red pepper. You'll be able to make it exactly like you want it. You wouldn't have to use all of these spices either. Good luck !

Yeah, I've seen ground beef that has wheat added to it. (The stuff wrapped up at the butcher's counter... freaked me out! They do have to label it, but I wouldn't have otherwise thought I'd have to look!)

I like Spice Hunter's Fajita Seasoning. Tasty!

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

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
