Good Morning,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us as we truly appreciate hearing from our customers. Our Oregano is a straight spice, therefore contains nothing but the spice. Below is some information about gluten and our products:

Please read info below as it is important.

!!!!Please be advised we have removed msg from all of our blends except for Complete Seasoning and will begin producing this way in the next couple months, however, it does take time for this to reach all store levels. So for now this does apply:

I am including a bit of information on gluten and our products, there are only a few items which do contain gluten.

All of our straight spices such as, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Pepper, etc. contain no gluten.

Our blends however is where you will begin to see change.

*Only some of our products, blended products, contain a derivative of Gluten, which is MSG and it is the following:

Complete Seasoning

Fajita Seasoning

Taco Seasoning

Cajun Seasoning

Rotisserie Seasoning

Poultry Seasoning

Adobo w/ Pepper

Adobo w/o Pepper

Mojo Marinade

ALSO READ THE FOLLOWING for ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Please make sure that you read this in detail.

Gluten Questions & Celiac Disease.

Our spices do not contain Wheat Flour (Gluten) Our Straight spices (paprika, cumin, cloves, garlic. etc.. are 100% the spice ground with no additives or Fillers

In blends, such as curry powder etc.., we do not have wheat flour, we do however have MSG (This is on the label of the blends as required by law).

****We have had customers with Celiac Disease contact us with similar questions, It has been advised that people with Celiac should not consume MSG that is imported. The MSG contained in our BLENDS is imported, please tell the client to contact their doctor regarding the acceptability of your consuming the msg in our blends.

The straight spices are fine for them to consume.

Have a lovely weekend!!

KEEP IT SPICY!

Just an update for anyone who uses Baida Curry powder. They have updated their formulas and their curry has no MSG or gluten. I emailed and asked. Their response is below (verified as of Nov 23, 2010):

Good Morning,

Thanks for taking the time to write to us as we truly appreciate hearing from our customers. Please be advised, the forum you were reading which included info about our spices is a bit old. Since then, we have completely removed msg from the few remaining items, with the exception of Complete Seasoning and Mojo Marinade. Other than these 2 items, no other product contains.

Curry powder does not have gluten or msg.

Also, by law it is required to place MSG on the listed ingredients if it does in fact contain, you will find all of our ingredients on the label.

Thanks again and have a lovely day!
