gluten-free Spices

Hi-

Does anyone know if any spices (like onion or garlic powder) are gluten free?

Thanks!

I believe all of the pure spices from McCormick's are gluten free, though that might not be true for anything that's a spice blend. Also, everything from Penzeys Spices is gluten free.

I just got glutened by garlic powder that I apparently bought before I was sick . Make sure to check your spice rack XD

check out frontier or simply organic. i'm pretty sure most if not all of their stuff is gluten-free.

I've pretty much found spice blends to be gluten-free unless they list wheat, which is rare. Usually in something more like a dry marinade mix or occasionally something Mexican. Also will sometimes find it at restaurant in one of their special spice blends, such as the vegetable spice at Outback.

I got rid of all of my old spices to be safe.. Now I have Simply Organic, McCormick's (look for their green label and lid!). For Mexican, I use the Old El Paso mixes - Fajita, Taco, etc.

So far, I've never gotten sick from spices, that I know of.. One thing to definitely avoid - anything from the bulk bin, including spices. Bulk bins are a cross contamination nightmere - even if you're getting, say, white rice, someone could have used a glutenous scoop, or the bin could have previously held gluten foods..

The one time I got rice flour out of a bulk bin was when it was sectioned off in its own side of the store, with a note that all the gluten-free ingredients had been kept strictly gluten free.
